I was banded 5 days ago. The top part of my stomach seems to be swollen. I have heard from another bandster that had this happen. I would like to know when the swelling will go away.

Within 2 weeks unless you don't follow doctor's advice.

Thanks for the information. I knew it would go away, just glad I have an idea of when it will go away.

My swelling went down about two weeks after surgery. Good luck! Hope you feel better soon!
