I hope you're doing better. I had my TT 16 years ago, and continue to have the same problems you have addressed. It has taken a toll on me both, mentally and physically.

Me too. I am miserable nearly everyday from complications of this surgery. Would love an answer. I am so sorry your 2nd surgery didn't help. It has been 16 years since my surgery.

THE DR.S SHOULD PUT A DISCLAIMER AND WARNING ABOUT THIS UGLY PAINFUL RESULT. Of course there not going to tell you because a;; they care about is your money $$$$$ in there pocket.. I am so sorry for everyone going through this. I am 4 years post opp and am having horrible bloating in my upper abdomen. It is not always so bad but when it is it is painful and not pretty to look at. Very nerve racking to know that there is no end in site. I swear if I knew I would have never done this. I regret it every day... I should have just embraced my mom body and been proud of it.... Bless all of you and may someday we all find some all find some relief. ALSO MAY WE BRING TO LIGHT FOR OTHERS THIS ISSUE...…. Amber

I am two year of my tummy tuck
My stomach swells get hard and sometimes it’s hard for me to breath I look like I’m pregnant also
I went back to my doctor and told him that my stomach is always tight He said I will be fine and I could still wear my band around my waist
I have been wearing a band every day because I can’t do without it
Is any one else feeling like I do

Me too I’m two years suddenly started feeling tight above by incision and below the belly button. It comes and goes when I wake up nothing as I start my I can feel it.. wondering if I damaged something. Today I feel bloated ... wondering if it’s IBS or my tummy tuck. I wore the band to work it helped but then was tight.. my tummy looks flat expect for the shelf -like scar left which I need to revise ... don’t know what else to do... I’m 47

Superstar, It has been 17 yrs. for me. I am having all these same problems. I feel awful most of the time. I too feel like it is lymphatic related. I once had cupping and acupuncture done by an Osteopath, and got immediate relief of the constant stagnate feeling I have in my umbilical and epigastric area. I also suffer in my lower tt scar. This surgery has made my life miserable. There is something wrong with my core now. I really blow up after any type of activity. Please let me know if any of you have found answers. Sorry you are suffering, also. By the way, the relief after cupping was very temporary. I was so disappointed.

My stomach gets hard as a rock I’m somtimes out of breath an I also look pregnant
Ithough that a tummy tuck was the answer but now I am sorry I had it done
The only relief I do get is wearing an abnormal waist belt and I have been wearing one for a year would you believe this!!!!

I will be two years post op on September 5. I have an uncomfortable feeling of pressure in my abdomen that worsens as the day goes on. I’m seeing my surgeon in two weeks but after reading all of this I’m losing hope that he is going to be able to help me .
