How Long Will I Need Help for After Tummy Tuck Surgery?

indigoangel
I'm a slim fit 48 yr old considering a TT. I've been working out faithfully (weight training) for 30 years. I don't have excess skin or fat, just lax fascia that years of exercise has been unable to fix. Will these things work in my favour and help me get back on my feet faster? I live alone and it might be difficult to find family members or friends to babysit me for very long (they all work).
