I am starting my journey at 370lbs and I am 5ft3. I am 24 years old and I am about a month or two away from getting my surgery. I am really hoping that by getting this perhaps my legs will look normal. From my knee down is swollen and they barely fit in my pant legs. Does anyone else have this problem? The pic is my, my son, and my husband at six flags hoping next time we go maybe I will be able to get on a ride

My legs used to swell pre op. That was one of the first things to get better for me. My legs now are skinny pencils!! Wish my stomach would take notes from my legs and disappear.

Good luck to you. This is a wonderful life changing surgery.

Yes. I carry almost all of my extra weight below my waist and have lymph edema in my legs.

Although my legs are still large and misshapen, especially my left leg, they have changed tremendously.

Immediately post-op I lost weight very rapidly. A lot of that was from the Fluid in my legs according to my PA.

I may never have normal shaped legs but who knows. I have seen so many physical changes since surgery I am starting to believe anything is possible.

My legs and feet are swollen, had surgery December 10th.

Are they going down at all? Do they look like mine in my pic

My ankles were always swollen. Weight loss did nothing to help. Turns out it is mainly from poor venous return in my legs. I'm just now getting treatment for my varicose veins. With both of my faulty, leaky medial saphenous veins ablated, the vascular doc says my ankle edema should greatly improve. I'll know in the next month or so.....

My ankles were typically swollen before surgery. I'm now 7 weeks out and they went waaaaay down. I can see muscles and bones and everything! They went down about 3 weeks post surgery.

Thank you everyone for replying it really helps you guys are so great thanks
