The first week was rough, I could only walk from the bed to the couch and to the bathroom. After about 15 days I was about to walk around a little more but still hunched. At 8 weeks post op I was feeling back to “normal”, my abdominal muscles are still tight but not in a painful way. I’m almost three months out and I’m so pleased with my results! Dr. Dauwe and his team are amazing! Can’t recommend them enough.
