Recovery After Tummy Tuck with Muscle Repair

9075anon
I was an extremely fit person before my tummy tuck with muscle repair. I am on leave from the army. I had minimal loose skin, and the only reason I needed a full tuck was because of the seperated muscle. Because of my physical condition, how long can I expect recovery to take?
