I am 16 days post-op (surgery on Dec. 17). I am wondering how long everybody stayed swollen? I still am very bruised on my abdomen where the hole was for the instrument. Even though I had to bleeding complication (under All Things Dr. Ponce in the Mexico thread). I just still feel so swollen and sore. Today is the first day I mights actually get in an entire 33 oz. bottle of water and 60+ grams protein. It has been rough getting all of this in. Anyway, just curious as to when I won't feel so sore and swollen? Thanks!

I'm still pretty swollen and I was the 19th. My doctor put me on steroids and still has me taking the pain medicine so I can get food and water down. I go see him again tomorrow and he had hoped the swelling would be a lot better but it's not so I'm not too sure what he has planned. I guess we will see. Good luck and just go slow, I know how it feels though and it sucks. When your in pain you have no interest in food and without being hungry, it's hard to force yourself to eat. I hope it gets better for both of us soon!

Hey Angie, I think it must be different from one to another because I was only a bit swollen for a couple days and never noticed any after that. I am also very bruised, but then I bruise very easily anyway. I feel awful about all you've gone through and I wish you a quick recovery from here out. {{ hugs}}

Yes... Extremely swollen. I was sleeved December 28....I am having a couple of issues with swelling and two of my port sites. I'm hoping that my stomach will deflate soon. I look like a little pumpkin.
