At what point are you "back to normal"?

[maintenanceman 286]

I'm 51 yo male, considering a full extended Tummy Tuck (loose skin from WLS) and chest lift w/ nipple grafting (gynecomastia). At what point (weeks/months) am I likely to be fully recovered, feel "good as new" / "back to normal"?

It was about a year for me to be back to normal, but only about 3 months until I was no longer worried about wound healing or infections.

BTW I am female but my procedure is very Similar with what you are having done.
