TMI, but I need some help or encouragement.

I have a big tummy from being pregnant before and PCOS.  It hurts so bad, I can barely walk without holding it up. I do realize that the muscles hurts there. ALso was told that my ribcages will hurt as well. I am haunched over like the hunchback of Notre Dame.I cant stand in one place for longer then 2 mintues, because I am holding my stomach up. It feels like my tummy weighs 30 lbs.  I have increased pain to the point that my dilaudid is not helping it.

Did anyone has this problem or a similar problem? Please let me know.  I would really appreciate any help with this.

Thanks

Sunny

I wore an abdominal binder for months after surgery for the same reason...I had an open DS and carried a lot of weight in my stomach....it hurt when I walked around because there was so much pressure there, the binder helped to support everything.

 I had back pain and of course the slapping stomach against the top of my thighs when I go up the stairs.

I had a lower body lift 7 weeks ago. It was the best thing I ever did.

I know this might be inappropriate to ask, but how much was the lower body lift?
I think I'll need one after lose weight.
