How Long Were You Swollen?

[dexter 205]

I was sleeved 11/13 and am down 11 pounds from surgery. However, my fat jeans are tight around my belly. I'm figuring I'm still swollen but wondering how long it lasts.

So it's more stretch pants for a while.

Oh boy I was swollen for a month! Don't worry it goes away!

Oh thank goodness!! I don't want my main weight loss to only show in my hands and wrists!

I'm so ready to not have a belly that doubles as a tray table!

the Dr told me 6 weeks for swelling to go down, but mine is still swollen some

I was swollen for at least 6 wks. I know because 6 weeks after surgery I had book group and someone made a comment about me wearing yoga pants all the time. It was the next week that I wore regular pants and they were not tight.

You could only really see my weight loss in my face and saddlebag area (no more saddlebags!!) until the second week of November. That was when my abdominal area really started shrinking. It has only been this past week that people have stated commenting on my weight loss. Don't get discouraged if you don't lose all over at first - everyone is different but eventually it will come off!

Oh that's good to hear! My trousers are sagging around my legs and bum, but I can't go a smaller size because of my stomach.
