I'm Almost 5 Weeks Post Op Tummy Tuck and I Feel Pouchy Again...How Can I Tell That Its Swelling or my Stomach Muscles Pouching? When I use to hold my stomach in I use to tighten my muscles and I can do that now which pulls me in a little bit. Does that mean that my stomach muscles have stretched back out?
