Can someone tell me how long it takes for the swelling of your belly to go down? The doc told me that it can take for up to a year. I'm a little discouraged because I lost 20 lbs. (not discouraged about that!) and the jeans I wore pre op are a little tight on me. I thought with the 20 lbs. gone they would be a little loose. Thanks.

i had the same problem!! i had some pants that i had just squeezed into pre-op. 2 weeks post op and down 15 lbs i couldnt even get close to buttoning them! i have now gained back 5 and the pants fit! ( i am wearing them today!) i dont know if the swelling is all gone or not!
