I am about 3 1/2 months out from my TT and I feel like it is getting tighter lately?  I thought it would be the other way around..but that is not how I am feeling.  Just wondering if anyone else had this experience?  I think my swelling is mostly gone now and things just feel firmer...I am not complaining , makes me thrilled actually but I am just shocked!  anyone else?

No, not here. but my muscles are still pretty tight. Just not painfully tight like it felt the first few months. I'm 10 months out now.

I still feel swelling from time to time. Not as often as my first couple of months. Today I felt very tight. I haven't felt this tight in a while. I'm 5 1/2 months out from my LBL.

 I think I might swell a bit occasionally, but definitely not tighter Patty.

I am about 8 weeks out and feel tighter sometimes.
I think for me that it is just that I am getting sensation back in parts of my abdomen that were numbed by surgery.

No, but I hope to feel that! I am still experiencing some occasional swelling and don't feel as tight as I thought I might or from what I have read. I have a feeling I am going to be one of those patients who don't see the full results of the TT until much later. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the results. But I wouldn't mind the tightness to really feel the difference of my new tummy compared to my old one.
