The important features of a C-section shelf or pouch include: The bulge is localised directly above the scar The upper abdomen may otherwise feel relatively flat Weight loss or exercise has little effect on the shelf A scar that may appear indented, tight, or adherent In these cases, the bulge often looks more prominent when sitting or bending because the scar stays fixed while the tissue above it folds forward
GI side effects tend to peak during this window, and the associated fluid losses trigger thirst
Allergic Reactions As with any medication, severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) are possible, though rare
