3 Weeks out -1st day back at work
I feel pretty good. Made it through a whole day at work, very proud of me.
My arms hurt the worst. Lots of tingling and swelling. Everything else is getting better and better day by day.
I feel really weird about one thing. I'm still not standing up all the way. I'm close, but not there.
How many weeks did it take to stand upright after a TT?
Thanks guys!
Xo, Alicia

With my original abdominoplasty I was bent over for 3 1/2 weeks. It seemed that at the 4 week mark I was upright and you couldn't notice/I didn't feel ent over. I am a teacher and we always take a faculty photo before school starts (at 3 1/2 weeks post abd.) I thought I was straight up (i did bend my knees slightly to make it appear I was 100% straight, but when the pics came out I was bent over llike the hunch back LOL!
Hang in there is seemed that week 3-4 was my straight up time period! Until then the only things I remember that helped me was the spray Icy hot (Walgreens makes a brand that is better than the name brand.) It also clears your sinuses if you are a little congested! :-0
