Well, it has been 1 week today since my surgery. I can't say that I feel just fantastic that I have had it done. I know it will get better every day as it has for the last seven, but it sure has been some trying moments. I have been really depressed because I have had to be in for the past week. I am a very active person and it has been hard to be laid up. My pain hasn't been real bad for the past couple of days. I haven't even taken anything for pain. I think my biggest problem right now is the fact that I am feeling so swollen and I can't fit into any of my clothes and need to be going back to work. I feel twice as big now as I did before I had the surgery. Any answers on how long before I will start to feel normal again??

I had a tummy tuck on April 26th. I felt like you the first week as well ! I went back to work in (1) week. I just wore sweat pants for the first 3 weeks. Last week I could finally fit into my jeans... but doctor told me it's normal to be swollen for a while.
My stomach is so flat, I'm surrrrreeeee glad I did it !
Have patience... it'll all come together, and you'll be showing off your new figure soon !
