Asked By:smak675 in Santa Rosa CA

I had my Tummy Tuck on June 7th. So its been more than two weeks now. I don't know if I am over sleeping or if it is normal but I have been sleeping most of the day. For example; yesterday I woke up at 5am, took pain meds and fell back asleep until 11:30, woke up, ate, took more pain meds, fell back asleep until 3pm, woke up, tried to watch tv but was very drowsy. Took a shower around 5, ate again at 7 and fell asleep right after. Is this normal? My drains are still in too.
