Protruding abdomen:

I had a diep flap surgery 5 months ago. Everything went fine with the surgery. Now I have developed a hard lump next to my navel and a lot of protruding in my upper abdomen. With my lower abs being so flat and my upper abs so big, I have a very hard time keeping my pants up, even with a belt. I am having to pull up my pants constantly all day long. It is very aggravating and very frustrating! I have a followup visit with my surgeon next week. I am worried and would like to know the cause. I hope I can get some answers that can easily resolve this problem!

Dear Cajunlady

This sounds very frustrating for you and I am sorry that no one else had responded yet. I wonder if anytime else has experienced this and found any solutions?  It would be good to hear how you are getting on snd what advice your medical team are able to offer.
