Stomach tightness?

Hi, I am about 5 weeks post-op and have lost about 17 pounds since surgery. I have noticed some muscle tightness in my stomach when performing tasks that require reaching up high... Is this normal and "part of the process"? Kim

Kim: Do you have a doc here in the states that you are seeing for followup? If so call them, but also email Natalie and she will get back to you!! They told me that it takes at least 3-5 months before you are complete healed. I was sore and had some muscles tightness, but just think what your body has been through. But, please email Natalie or call your local doc to be sure!!! Take care and let us know how you are doing!!! Jen
