Tummy Tuck: Stories

I commented awhile back on my Tummy-tuck, I just had done on February 28th. Today it has been exactly 2 weeks. With my sutures removed from my scar and out-of-my-belly-button, I am seeing the results' I orignally paid for! I am healing, slowly but surely. Today at 14days' post-op, I feel I have turned that corner, for the better. The swelling is moving down, and today I feel I have an intertube around my lower-abdomen. (Is this normal?) Dr. say's yesterday..."Yes!" Swelling heals with everything draining downward. I am still not aloud to stand-straight for another week, and 4 more weeks of sleeping in a recliner, 4 more weeks of no exercise, lifting, heavy activity, or sex. I now feel, there is improvement. My stomach as of now....is not yet flat-as-a-board. I want that! I hear everyone else talking about it. Did I get a bad tummy-tuck...or is that part still to come??? All comment's welcome, p-l-e-a-s-e...to {edited}. My scar is actually beautiful, so fine...and perfectly follows the crease of my thighs' and pubic-area. I sill have stretch-marks, and I still have love-handles. Why??? If anything.....this is my kick-start to complete my Drs. work. I am ready to hit weights, run and exercise. I also feel I bloat, A.S.A.P. after every meal. What is that all about? I'd like to write in again, and see If my opinion will change more, for the better.
