Was anyone really, and I do mean really swollen post op? If so, how long did it take to go away? I am wearing pants that were 2 sizes too big pre surgery, but I cannot button them post op. I had surgery on the 24th.

Thank you for any advice.

Ok, I guess I am the only one who has this kind of post op swelling.

No, not at all-I was really swollen too! Even though I had lost 14 punds my pant were tight-really tight. My first day back to work I had to unzip my pants and I wore black yoga-pants the rest of the week. I amover 2 weeks post op and my pants don't feel any looser. I think in your case it may be the gas build up?? It will go down!! Good luck!

I had my surgery on the 25th of May and I am still swollen!! I have that roll that I've always hated mid stomach and to me it's bigger. I've lost almost 30 lbs and the only place I can feel it is in my face and my back. Dr. told me it would take some time to go down. Just from all the trauma and the gas they use to inflate your stomach. I'm impatient and want it to go away quick!! But in time it will happen...just takes some patience. Good Luck!! Heather

Thanks for responding. I don't understand one thing even more than anything else: my surgeon keeps saying he doesn't understand why I am so swollen...which is why I was so concerned. I am so tired of hurting/being swollen.....
