I originally had my procedure on 4/7/15 but had to go back on 4/28/15 because I develop an infection and was retaining fluid. The doctor put a drainage tube on each side of me for about a week and now my vagina is hanging once the tubes came out. I don't feel comfortable like this .. Is this normal?

It looks like you have no stitches holding your tummy and mons together, noticed it was posted a month ago. Hope you sought urgent medical attention for it x

I Still Feel Fat

ahill513

I had my procedure done on April 7 , 2015 had some complications ( infection and went back into surgery on 4.28.2015. Since then I have healed from the inside out and developed a scar in which my PS will be correcting on 9.17.2015. I have notice that the top part of my stomach seems big. I feel like I shouldnt be able to inhale and hold my stomach in since i had my tummy tuck. Has anyone else experience this and/or should i be worried. I do know it takes time for the swelling to actually goes down but I am a little concern. Please let me know if there is anything i should be concern about or letting my PS know that he should be doing.

Hello I am glad that you are doing well. Please please do not worry about the swollen. I had my tummy tuck back in March 2015 I am still swelling a little bit. Make sure you drink plenty of water daily and avoid sodium stay away from fried foods and sodas. I drink 64oz of water daily.Your diet plays a big role in this process and walking or excersires if possible a little. Take it a day at a time please no rush girl.
Good luck on your surgery. God bless you.
Have a blessed and speedy recovery my sister.
