Not sure where to start with my journey but here goes. I have wanted/needed a tummy tuck for the past 10 years. After giving birth to an 8lb 7 oz baby, my body was never the same. During my pregnancy I gained 55lbs and was left with a saggy tummy. Being in the military, I had to drop the weight and get back in "shape" quickly which I did. Unfortunately, it was not the shape I imagined. Fast forward 10 years, I was finally out the military and able to pay for a tummy tuck. I came home from Afghanistan and immediately scheduled my surgery. Initially I was excited. However, it was nothing like I expected. The pain was real!!!! The results so far leave me wondering if I wasted my money. I now have fewer stretch marks but my stomach has a noticeable bulge above my belly button that you can see even when I'm fully clothed. Every day I look hoping it magically goes down but I don't think it will. My PS told me it was swelling at my last followup but 16 weeks post op I am starting to think it will never go away. I have an appt on Friday so I hope he can fix this.

Thank you for joining us and sharing. Does the doctor have any idea of what he thinks this is? I do know that my swelling lasted 7 months and it was frustrating. Please let me know how the appointment goes on Friday and what he says.
