I literally do not remember the recovery after the first terrible days. I love how I look though, so get ready for the summer OP!

Just don't rush it. Give your body the time it needs, it will be worth it in the end.

Ask your Dr.

Check out the tummy tuck subreddit. Tons and tons of practical tips and info there.

Wow. This brings me back. I'm sorry OP. Don't worry, this will all be a memory soon enough!

But...I'll be honest, it took me about 2.5-3 weeks to stand totally straight and about a month to get more comfortable sleeping. I had major muscle repair as well and everyone heals at a different pace.

I promise you that is it worthwhile to take your time with recovery. It pays off in a good result!

Tomorrow will be a week from surgery. I feel ok but not great. I’m sleeping with a complicated arrangement of pillows. How long til I can walk straight?
