I am four months post op...and have no ankles right now. My ankles are swollen worse than what I had when I was pregnant. I push my fingers into my shins and ankles and the dents stay there for quite a while. I never (except for pregnancy) had an issue with retaining Water...any others deal with this? I do drink quite a bit of water in a day, and I don't pee all that much. So I know that my body is keeping it in. Any ideas to shead the excess water naturally?

You should get in touch with your surgeon to make sure there isn't another issue, like blood clots. I know that sounds awful, but you shouldn't be that swollen.

Severe edema like what you described can be from a number of things. Please contact your surgeon or PCM for guidance...you will feel better after you make that call.
