I HAD TRAM FLAP SURGERY 18 YEARS AGO. 3 MONTHS AGO I FELT SOMETHING FEEL LIKE IT RIPPED IN MY LOWER STOMACH WHILE PARTICIPATING IN A FITNESS CLASS. I THOUGHT I HAD A HERNIA BUT A CAT SCAN REVILED NO HERNIA. A SURGEON SUGGESTED EXPLORATORY LAPROSCOPIC SURGERY BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE MY PROBLEM. MY FAMILY DOCTOR SAID I WAS CONSTIPATED(WHICH I WAS NOT). IS THERE A SURGICAL PROCEDURE TO REPAIR A TEAR. MY STOMACH IS SWOLLEN AND I'M HAVING DIFFICULTY FITTING INTO MY CLOTHES. I WAS A SIZE 2-4 AND WALKED 3.5 MILES/DAY 3-4 TIMES A WEEK PLUS A FITNESS CLASS. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND UNHAPPY WITH MY SWOLLEN AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE STOMACH.
