I had my tummy tuck with muscle repair 6 days ago. I expected to feel tightness after surgery after all my research. I've yet to have that feeling. I can stand straight. I walk hunched over because that is what I was advised to do for 2 weeks. My muscles were over 5 inches apart. Could he have not tightened them enough?
