Swelling?

I was banded 3/23 and have lost just under 20 lbs with the preop diet. I'm having a problem with my clothes being too tight in the belly and it must be from swelling. These clothes fit before surgery!! The legs of my pants are way big but everything is tight across the hips, belly and butt. How long did it take for your swelling to go down?

It was about 3 weeks for me, all the stuff they pump in must come out and then the swelling goes down. I will be 4 weeks Mon and not sure it's all gone yet. My tummy is a little lopsided. However, I can button a 14 jean---down from a 22 in Feb.
