I am about 3 weeks Post Op. Everything looks great and seems to be healing well. However I have noticed in the last few days when I get cold (bc its in the 40s where I live) I'm experiencing an extreme wave of cold chills complete with Goosebumps\ major standing hair and a crazy prickly feelsling that radiates & travels over my upper tummy and it is the most uncomfortable feeling ever! Could this be due to the tuck or muscle repair??
