Stomach tightness after DIEP Flap reconstruction

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭
Los Angeles, CA

Hi Everyone! I’m 5 months out from DIEP Flap reconstruction and my stomach is still very tight - it’s uncomfortable but not really painful. I’m going to follow up with my surgeon - but wondering if anyone has experienced this. Also looking for info on any core/stomach exercises you found helpful. Thanks!
