Marie,
Not knowing what your level of pain is, but it
sounds like you don’t have too much to be worried
about (just my opinion).
Of course with any medical conditions you should ask
your doctor these questions, but as a former tummy
tuck patient, I would guess that your swelling falls
into the “normal” category because for many people,
swelling can take months to go away.
As far as your pain in your right side goes, unless
it is really severe, and there is no redness or
infection, you may want to strap on your
compression garment and give it a day or so and see
if if goes away by itself.
With regard to the gurgling in your stomach, I have
never heard of anyone complaining about that in
association with a tummy tuck. Could It be just an
upset stomach from your worrying about the pain and
swelling and everything that you went through up to
now? I would try eating some bland and healthy
foods, possibly popping some antacids and see if it
settles down after a while.
Good luck,
Tanner
