How long does the soreness last from a tummy tuck with lipo?

I had a tummy tuck with lipo on the flanks 5 weeks ago. I'm doing really well, standing straight and almost back to normal activities. I only take 600mg Ibuprofen twice a day. My PS says everything is healing fine but when will I not be so very sore in all the areas that had surgery? Is there anything I can do to speed up the recovery? I'm still a little swollen too but I guess that's normal. I can't stand anything around my waist.
