Hello,

I had my slevve last thusday, a week today. I am feeling great except is this normal that my pants does int fit me anymore, they are mucht to small. I can not buttom up my pants, 6 inches are missing to fit. Is this normal to be swollen like that?

Thank you for your advices!

After surgery my stomach was very swollen and looked like a mountain range ( it went up an down and looked like craters in places). I did not put clothes on that early so I don't know if they were tight. I stayed in robes.

If you are in pain or really concerned call your doctor.

I think that some swelling is normal. I was sleeved 7 days ago and although I have lost 15 pounds I feel tighter in my jeans right now and can visably see how swollen my abdomen is. If you were painful or had any other symptoms it would be worth a call into the doctor, but if you are concerned why not make the call just to ease your mind?

Swelling is probably normal. And you could still have some residual fluid retention. But call your surgeon to make sure. I wore nightgowns and pajamas that first couple of weeks because of my incisions and my OnQ pump. I don't know how much swelling I really had.

My stomach was extremely swollen! It's normal. After about a week it was looking better but I had swelling for a few weeks in my tummy. Yeah, I can't imagine trying to wear pants, I lived in sundresses for the first few weeks due to the swelling.
