I am 6 days post op for tummy tuck. I feel my stomach skin is stretched so much that I can't stand straight even if I tried. My back is sore from hunching over. How long before I can stand upright?
Hello! I had my tummy tuck on Feb. 20, 2009 and just now (March 31, 2009) am I begging to standing upright. Most of the time when I stand up from sitting for while it feels tight. Seems like the more my swelling goes down the more I can stand up straight. I told my husband that after this is all over I am getting a full back massage! LOL But I have to say that I got an infection below my scar. My Doc had to cut about a quarter size incision and basically clean me out. I had lots of blood clots and ughh well you get the picture :-( so that set me back 2 weeks! Hang in there! I've learned to be amused by it.. lol I would do the "granny" dance for my husband LOL
Hi - ai just saw your post and it is 3/4/2010. Do you see my post? I am wondering if this site is still up and running? Looks like all the questions are a year old. Please reply if you get this.
If you do reply, how are you doing now? I had a tummy tuck on 2/2/10 and am doing quite well.
Thanks,
Pamela

Thanks for the update platinumpam, I'm curious to know your recovery times as well.
It took around 6 good weeks before I could stand up straight after my try tuck. Don't force it, just let it happen naturally, you don't want to mess anything up!
