11 weeks post op Tummy Tuck with flanks Liposuction, still feel discomfort and have pain swelling after working out. Is this nor

Yes, unfortunately what you are describing is fairly normal after a tummy tuck.  I know it is frustrating but the body needs time to heal after such an operation.  Especially for someone as active as you were before surgery, it will take several  months to get back to your intense pre-surgery workout regimen.  It is perfectly normal to experience increased swelling after a workout; do not worry, your body will equalize it out.  As for the pains, listen to your body; if it hurts very badly one day, take it easy the next day.  Good luck!

It is normal to have these symptoms early on, and progressively lessover time, though it takes a full year to heal completely from these surgeries.Sometimes the pain you feel is your nerves waking up. You may have to cut backon the exercises you are doing now, and gradually increase from there. Listento your body.
