When does the surgery belly go down?

I'm 6 days post-op and still have quite a bloated and firm belly. How long does it usually take to clear out the IV fluid/surgery belly (if there is a "usually")? I also have a drain so I'm not sure if that has an effect.

    Everyone of us is different. Just relax and know that things will change. Good luck!

    Thanks! It's one of the more fascinating side effects - my belly is bigger than the day before surgery. Fortunately I get the reasons, it's just another weird WLS thing :)
