Tummy Tuck APPEARANCE Recovery Time?

I’m having a tummy tuck and hip liposuction next week to get rid of my over-distended stomach from my twin pregnancy 3 years ago. How long will it be before I can “appear” normal to people? (Not walking hunched over.) I realize it will feel weird for awhile.

I had it done on Jan. 27, 2006. I am an er nurse. I was hunched over for a full two weeks. I suppose I could have gone back to work then, but I took off 3 weeks. The first week back I wasn’t comfortable lifting pts at work, but I was able to hold my kids (then 1 1/2 and 2 1/2). The weirdest thing was the numbness/tingling. I had the same thing you did, but also breast implants at the same time. Well worth the time and money – would do it again in a heartbeat – never looked back! The scar is hip to hip and still there, but healing nicely. I am able to wear a two piece swim suit (even the skimpy ones) and no one has mentioned my scar (even my 9 yr olds soccer team) – and you know how inquisitive and sometimes mean they can be . Good luck – happy new body!
