i had a tummy tuck with muscle repair and fat transfer to my butt 3 weeks and 3 days ago. I have been sleeping alternating from side to side And My 1 drain was just removed at my 3 weeks follow up. I was getting out of bed and i felt a popping feeling in my belly is it normal? I only felt pain that moment. I feel the popping feel every now and then when I get out of bed but no pain. Could this effect my results? what is the popping feeling?
