It will be 5 full weeks tomorrow since my tummy tuck. everything has gone pretty good. the site is all healed over. it's still really tight when i try and stand up straight...find it worse after i sit down for a long time. since i stopped wearing my CG, I've had quite a bit of swelling, but i'm sure it will pass with time. anyone know normally how long the swelling lasts for?

Still having very minimal discomfort. My surgeon told me she removed quite a large section, weighing over 3 lbs. good lord!!! haha. i still have both drains in but the amounts are slowing decreasing day by day. the most annoying part has been the drains. i am a side sleeper and can't with the drains in so it has been tough trying to get any decent amount of sleep. I have been sleeping on the couch since getting home. Looking forward to hopefully getting the drains out by the weekend or early next week.

Just got home from hospital this morning. No pain meds since surgery. Very little discomfort. Got my feet up watching last nights game 7 hockey game that my son recorded for me. Gonna be a quiet day. So far so good. Drains are in and working well.

Congrats! You look great with your new weight loss. Now did you have to get muscle repair with your TT, because that's makes a difference in the pain. But good luck with your journey.
