Tightness 16 months after TT. Is this normal?

threefoldnature
I had a TT with muscle repair in Nov 21 and i still have a LOT of tightness in my abdominal area. And some days are worse than others. It seriously feels like a girdle under my skin 24 hours a day. OG Dr says give it more time. Is this normal?
