I am 7 weeks post Op from tt/mr. Yesterday while doing light kitchen cleaning like dishes and sweeping, I all of a sudden felt a pain under my right rib cage in my muscle repair area that feels like a pin or needle is sticking in me. Could it be a popped stitch or just a pulled muscle. I feel it when I do certain movements like bending over or twisting or sometimes if I touch it. Should I be concerned.
I had tummy tuck two weeks ago. I have been slowly walking around the house, but I get tired quickly and still slightly bent over. I will incorporate longer walk on flat surface (treadmill) this week, but would like to follow a super conservative plan before I start training for half marathon and weight training. I would like to know the best possible slow plan for exercise after a full tummy tuck with muscle repair (5 inch gap).
If I stand straight, as shown in one of the pictures, you can see a vertical line down the center of my stomach where the skin is loose. It's been 7 months since my surgery. I lost 130 lbs and had a tummy tuck to remove my excess skin and also got breast implants. My surgeon suggested having another surgery that would be a vertical incision on my stomach to remove the excess skin. It is heartbreaking to still have loose skin in my stomach area after a tummy tuck that I thought would correct it.
I am 12 wpo. Today while I was working out, I forgot a good look in the mirror of how my belly still hangs when I am bent over. I know I am not going to be a super model, but this just seems like a bit much. I had a full TT w/ MR.
Hi. I am a little over 1 year PO from a TT with MR. On the whole I'm relatively happy with my results although my flanks are still huge even though I had lipo there. My big concern is the amount of lose skin I have hanging down when I bend over. When I stand, my tummy is quite firm so I know further skin removal isn't an option. Is it possible that my tummy skin hasn't adhered properly to my muscle wall?? My tummy still feels jiggly. I don't think my PS is too concerned but I really am...
I am 6 wks post op from a mini tuck /lipo of my entire trunk and have been released to work. Until the earlier part of the 6th wk I have been accumulating fluid under the skin that has to be drained with a syringe by my doctor. I work as massage therapist performing 5-6 one hour massages 4 days a week. During these services I am constantly bent at the waist and applying pressure with my upper body. After 2 days back I noticed increased fluid and muscle swelling below my navel.
I had a tt 2 weeks ago. 3 days ago on my check up the dr told me that my belly button stitches had popped open because i had not been walking bent over and i had been moving too much. now i'm walking bent over terrified that i'll ruin my new stitches, but my back is killing me! any advice?
