recovery

How long did it take you to recover? I'm 2 weeks post op from anchor cut/hernia repair tummy tuck and I'm still struggling. I have a good day, then a bad day. I feel like such a baby sometimes. Things are better but I still have to take pain meds a couple times a day.

You are doing great, I took meds for about 3 weeks, and I am 8 weeks, and still have tolerable jabs of pain on the right side of the muscle repair. Twisting still hurts, 6 months is the benchmark I have been given for recovery.

Thanks Shelly for your reply. Its good to know im not alone. I see a lot of post where people feel better after a week or so, and im not there. Lucikly I have an awesome husband and great friends that are helping me. Praying next week will be better. Daily stuff like walking and getting out of a chair are easier but not without pain. Hopwfully when swelling goes down, drains come out, the pain will be a distant memory and it will be the best thing I ever did for myself.
