Messed Up Tummy Tuck First Day?

User Avatar

I just had a tummy tuck and implant change 2 days ago. The night I returned home from surgery I was trying to get into bed like they showed me using my arms but the pain in my pecs made me lose my balance a bit and I fell back onto the bed. It felt like I was ripping apart in the upper abs and now I'm deathly afraid I've messed it all up. I am scared to lie down now and spend most of my time sitting or standing. I'm a competitive bodybuilder and my PS said he stitched me 3x knowing my strength.
