I'm 9 days post op and my belly makes me look prego. Do stomach muscles ever become the same as they were before? Maybeit's

Too early to be able to "suck

It in"...

Omg I thought it was only me!! I'm almost 7 days post op and find myself hiding my belly. As a large girl that's a problem I never had!!

my stomach was the biggest part of me for weeks. now its going down really well. im post op just over two months now. lost 30 pounds.

My stomach is still swollen and feels bloated. I'm 5 days post op. I'm worried about what I'll wear to work! Anyone know what helps? When will it go down?

I would say stick to your larger pair of work pants. I wore a tighter pair of work pants and could barely sit to drive, it was horrible! Although it fits over the ass, the belly is a bit bloated still. I'm wondering when the belly starts to unbloat?

You'll have a large degree of swelling and bloating from surgery still.

Stomachs are weird. Having had a flat stomach anyway, or so I thought, after my tummy tuck its virtually concave. It looks *almost* six pack-ish. Very impressive. Yet after all those surgeries, and having had a stoma for 9 months, its weaker than its ever been, my core strength is really poor at the moment. Much less endurance and strength than I had when it was fatter and rounder.

I had stomach swelling and bloating for almost 2 weeks after surgery so it's normal, but every person is different. It will go down.

I'm 2 weeks post-op and tummy bloating is getting better but still there. I've been wearing dresses to work. Today I wore pants but unbuttoned them and folded it in, luckily they stayed up with the zipper!

it takes a while. mine is nearly down now after two months. i wear slacks with an elastic waist... it was tight to start with but looser now.

I agree I'm 2 weeks post op & my tummy is super pouchy. I think it's mostly swollen but it is weird. I had a tummy tuck years ago after my 2nd child & my tummy was always flatter but now its weird looking. I think it will take awhile to go down. I'm wearing dresses to work as well.
