Swollen from the Lap Band

I am just a week and a half since surgery. I had the band did 8 years. Like many, mine did wonderful at 1st but then turned into a nightmare. I got to the point where no food would pass. Now I'm sleeved. And I still feel that same feeling especially trying to get my shakes down. I was told there is swelling where the band was. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Thank you. In general, do you know when your swelling started to subside?
