What week or time period gave you the most trouble in recovery? This all seems far too easy. I'm just waiting on the other shoeto drop.

The first week. It didn't seem so bad at the time for me either. As I started feeling better I realized I was pretty much a zombie then

Im on day 4 post corsettrunkplasty & I feel fine. No complications (thank goodness). The only thing is that I get winded easily.

I get to shower tomorrow & my 1 week appt is Tues.

It feels weird like i can go back to work already but i took 4 weeks off.

First week.  By far.  I'm about 3 1/2 weeks out and I'm waiting for that shoe to fall too but so far so good (knock wood)

Although the swelling in my middle has stepped it up this week. Not awful, but some and it makes my skin poochy, which messes with my head a bit.  I keep repeating to myself... this is temporary.  

And my thighs continue to be swelling too, but with the compression garment, it is minimized.  And it is better than the 1st week when I had no compression on my thighs, they were pendulous and rather tender to the touch then.  

(I had a LBL with inner thigh lipo on June 5)

I know what you mean Bout messing with your head. That happened to me, too. Right after surgery my tummy was completely flat and my mons was tight. Then it swells and I felt like it would neve be flat again. I still look at my mons sometimes and think it will never tighten up. I am about 10 weeks put from TT and mons lift. I promise you it does get flat again. I love my flat stomach!!!!

My worse weeks were 3 to 6, specially after I started to work.

I was in such pain from swelling after my TT and after my arm lift I was in worse pain ever.

Magic point to feel better was 6 weeks.

Good luck.
