I am 10 days post op and down 17 lbs, yet I still can't button my pre op jeans. Is my belly still swollen from surgery? How long does it take for swelling to go down?

I am 3 weeks post op and I can finally button my jeans that I wore before the surgery even though I have lost 15 pounds. It has got to be the swelling.

I'm also betting it's the swelling. I've lost 9 pounds post op and can see areas where the skin is flabbier, but the abdominal area is still round and solid. I've heard the swelling can last for many weeks.

Hello, I am exactly 3 weeks out of surgery and anything around my belly has been uncomfortable but good news I noticed today the jeans dont feel as uncomfortable so yes I bet the swelling is the problem.
