I had a tummy tuck about 8 weeks ago, and I've been having some difficulties with my diet, so I started binging for a while (though I have only gained about 4-5 lbs., which I think it is mostly water weight) to a point where my belly got really bloated and painful. Can binging loosen up my internal sutures or does it take more than that to mess them up? I asked my surgeon and he said he did two layers and it takes more than that to mess them up, but I wanted to get more opinions from other doctors.
