Should I Be Able to Feel the Abdominal Muscle Suture After a Tummy Tuck?

7109anon
It has been 1.5 weeks since my surgery. My abdominal area is really tight and I am pleased and am mostly back to normal activities accept for exercise of course. However, I feel something in my high abdominal area. Like a rubber band or something that moves up and down as my body position changes from slumping forward to standing straight up. I figure it is the muscle suture. Will I always feel this? Do I have to worry about the suture coming loose?
