 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
