Hi,
Alittle abot myself. Had reconstructive breast surgery due to cancer last year. Recnstructive surgery done in February this year. I am 220 pounds and have fairly large stomach so enough fat to take for reconstruct. Breast construct turned out good, but the incesin for tr tummy tuck not so good. Part of the wound started opening up and then the intern decide to stick it up. 3 days later it was infected and the stitches had to come out. The wound opened up even furthur and it was so far open that you could put your whole fist in it. They decided to put me on the vac machine for 2 weeks until it was near closing. Now 4 months after surgery, all is healed up. The problem that I am having now, is tat the stomach area is so tight it is uncomfortable. I have no fat on the left or right side of my stomach and a big stomach right in the middle. Looks strange. I also have no feeling in the whole stomach area and been having pain in my stomach area. My stomach seems to be protruding in some areas. Any ideas or has anyone ever had this happen?
Thanks
