Just wanted to know if anyone else had this. I just don't feel like my swelling has gone away. I am not comfortable wearing even my biggest stretch pants and I am very itchy from my bra line to just below my waist. I am using benedryl cream for the itching and my wounds are almost healed and they do not itch.I went out this weekend and bought a stretchy lounge dress,but I am so frustrated about the swelling. I have lost 19 pounds but can't tell by the way things are fitting.
