I am 9 days post op fleur de lis tt and arm lift (158lb weight loss). I was told the majority of my post op discomfort would come from my TT but it's my arms that hurt the most. From day 1 I felt like I could stand straighter then I thought would be possible. I've had little pain in my abdomen (not complaining) but have to wonder if this means thing could have been pulled tighter? Is it normal to be able to stand almost perfectly? And to not feel that intense abdomen tightness? Thank you
