A year and 1 month since my tummy tuck

I finally know what’s causing me to constantly look swollen since my tummy tuck over a year ago. I picked up a small intestinal bacteria. It causes really bad bloating and since I’ve had it for over a year it’s pretty far along. I’m on lots of meds to kill it off but we’ll see what happens. Any other ladies out there going through the same thing, go see your GI doctor, get a breath test and maybe it’ll help you like it did me.

I wish I could take it all back
This surgery has been a waste of thousands of dollars, my stomach has not been flat since week five. My doctor has not tried to help me at all. I've been on my own trying to figure everything out, I wake up and I'm flat, after I get up I'm big and look pregnant all day. I'm upset and lots. I still can't even wear jeans or anything around my tummy

I'm so sorry you're dissatisfied with your results. Your stomach does look good despite the swelling. Have you tried lymphatic massages? It's supposed to help. Also, are you drinking lots of water? Perhaps a diuretic would help? I haven't had mine done yet, my plan is to have mine done in September. I do hope you can get some relief from the swelling soon!!

Just want to let you know your not alone. Had my tummy tuck March 21 and to me i still look the same. And its july , i feel its not going to get any flatter. When i saw your pictures it's like looking at myself. I really feel i got a Mimi and not a full.

I must say things have been slowly but surly getting better. I'm back in the gym 4/5 times a week and my tummy is starting to stay flat even through my workout. The only worry I have now is losing my love handles since I didn't have lipo. Oh and let's not forget that I still have swelling.
