Hi all .. I’ve been having issues with my tummy feeling really swollen and very uncomfortable not painful.I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair in 2018 .. I know a random question but I wonder if radiotherapy has had an affect on it? .. I’ve called the surgeon to see what he thinks.

Hi Sharon (Ruby1969),
I can’t comment regarding the tummy tuck causing issues but I still, almost 3 years post treatment, suffer from uncomfortable bloating etc., it’s mainly food related but sometimes can just come from nowhere also for no apparent reason. I’d be interested to hear what your surgeon has to say if you don’t mind sharing.
