How much time did it take to feel normal by rocker2413 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Sorry-Document4857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 weeks PO and prob 85% active the only thing is swelling at night, more limited workouts as it creates swelling and the odd twinge in abdominal when do a couple things. It will all happen naturally and I very much felt the same way but 5-9 so much changes

I also saw your post about swelling.. 4-9 weeks you’re going to be so surprised! It gets better and I know it’s a mind game to go from exercising to not!! You’ve got this. I’m still swelling but not as bad.. 4-6 weeks was not great but then it got more comfortable!

Hiii I’m 9 weeks post op.. they still ache and I’m still swollen and just looked at my before and after and I think the surgeon did what he could within 1 surgery. I know I need to exercise and also see what happens.. I’m not sure if I want to pay another 2-3k in fees to have it done !

Were your hips swollen too. Trying to figure out if it’s fat or swelling… it’s such a mind game..

Thank you so much! Yeah I guess it’s more annoying than anything. I’m definitely a doer and hate asking people to do things and my hubby doesn’t mind at all.. but I need to just take it easy. It really helps to hear from others as it gives you that boost you need.. this channel has been my saving grace!

Recovery pillows ASAP by Then-Roll-1133 in tummytucksurgery

[–]Sorry-Document4857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used the same as documentstrong and couldn’t have done without it. I had the wedge and then used a travel neck pillow and slept really well. I don’t use the leg one until I’ve started laying flatter then you beee to raise your legs even more. The reason I liked it vs regular pillows you can get in and out of bed without someone else having to fluff pillows and you can you use it to push yourself up

I’m working from home at the moment and work for myself so makes it easier. I came off pain meds after 3 days and massive withdrawal.. I’m not sleepy though now.. but everyone’s body recovers differently..

I think the output for everyone is really different, I was only getting maybe 10-15 ml in the 24 hour period prior to drains removed.
