“Progression of Wounds - Atlanta, GA”

I hear that a lot about the hunched over walking. Yes, I have heard of women still not standing completely upright at 4 weeks. Here are a few doctor answers about your issue.

Have you mentioned your concerns to your surgeon? He and his staff are there to see you through this whole process, and that includes post-op.

We'd love it if you'd consider posting a review in our tummy tuck community. You're likely to get some good responses there, too.

You should keep in close contact with your doctor about the wound not coming together.  Keep on top of that.  Are you eating enough lean protein?  That helps in the healing process greatly. 

Being hunched over at 4 weeks is totally possible.  I was hunched for about the first three weeks.  But then after that when I got tired I would hunch a little by the afternoon.  My tummy was extremely tight and I had a strong pulling feeling from the belly button down.  It does feel bad but is normal.  You could feel that for weeks so don't panic.  I can remember saying "When will this end" on a daily basis for the first three months. 

Take a look at my Month by Month diary and that should help you to know what is normal.
