    it varies for everyone - the more you walk and get the gas out, the faster that aspect of it will go down. The swelling from the trauma of the surgery is an individual thing. Mine took about 2 weeks really. Everyone's different though.

    Ok thanks to you both. Worse case scenario someone thinks I'm pregnant...lol I can handle that. Bring on the swollen tummy, I'll slay it with my walk for LIFE!

    My swelling might have lasted 2 weeks but was only noticeable undressed - not at all if I had clothes on!
