Question:
How long does it take after a tt does it take for your pelvic

I had my tt on Oct 1 2001 and i still have an embarresing pouch which is VERY uncomfortable. Any one else have something like this?    — Carol M. (posted on January 17, 2002)

What does your surgeon say about it? I had a TT on 8/14/01 and was completely healed in 2 months. My tummy is completely flat with no bulges. Talk to your surgeon and your primary care doctor

It is possible for the swelling to last for up to a year. I retain fluids terribly in the abdominal area (had 2 c sections and a tt and all 3 took forever to get the fluids moving) I still have some swelling and had my tt in July. the PS said there was fluid along the incision line and I hope it subsides soon. I can feel some pain along the incision line when there is a lot of fluid. It has been liveable so I have not needed any aspiration. If yours gets too uncomfortable, you may need to go to the PS and get aspirated. (2 weeks after surgery I had 170ccs of fluid removed from that area, it really was painful but have not needed the aspiration since)
