Recovery time for tummy tuck vs recovery time for RNY.

What a difference the two are.  It took me 3 1/2 weeks to feel normal with RNY.  It wasn't that bad tough.  I just needed to heal from the inside out.  However with this tummy tuck, it will be 3 weeks on Monday, and I am still hunched over.  Still oozing a bit.  I was depressed with the RNY, but this one is worse.  Because the actual tt surgery is a breeze.  The first 2 days, you feel like you are on top of the world.  Like you are amazed at how fast you are healing.  Well after the first 2 days reality hits.  You are sore.  This just sucks!!  All I want to do is cry.  I don't feel normal.  Can't wait until I do.  I just want to be normal again.  I have lost some more weight, which I didn't want too.  I am down to 123.  I didn't want to be down past 129.  Doc said it's just because of the surgery and that  I will bounce back.  Hopefully, that is true.  I am having a pity party over here.
