Can a Diastasis Recti Repair Go Back To Pre-Op Status Because of "Inherent Weakness" of My Fascia?

Jan of SA
I am a male with a 36" waist. I had my large diastasis recti repaired (surgery) in December 2010. The result was stunning. But the situation gradually reoccurred and the appearance now is the same as before. The surgeon blames it on "the inherent weakness of your fascia". He says such a condition is rare and that it could not be anticipated before surgery.
