1 month post op panni...not recovering as fast as I thought...

Hey everyone, For those of you who have had a tummy tuck, I'm really not feeling as great as i thought I would at this point. I had my surgery 11/28/05, i'm still pretty sore have 2 binders plus a towel underneath. I did have a sermoa which I had dranied on Monday, I'm not as bad now, but I'm not sure if they got all the fluid cause i'm still poofed out like a balloon. I'm gonna give it a few days I see my surgeon next week. I'm happy I had this surgery, but I feel like I should be feeling much better at this point. I still can only really walk I haven't been to the gym or anything like that. I feel like i have followed all the instructions to a T. My incisions look great, but I still have kind of a "pooch". I almost feel as big as i started, but the scale still reflects a 15 lb weight loss. I would love to hear from anyone who had a rougher recovery period...is what I'm experiencing normal? My gastric bypass i had lap, and I was fine really within a week and I've never had any problems. Thanks for listening to me kinda vent and I'm anxious to see the responses :)
