How long before swelling goes down?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I was banded last Friday, January 21st. I was wondering about how long it's taken for the swelling to go down after your lapband surgery.

I'm still REALLY puffy :D . Just ready to see my belly button again!!!

Oh...and I was wondering where I place my ticker so it shows up in my posts. Right now I have it in my "About Me" section, but apparently that's the wrong spot!

Thanks!

Hello wonder, I was wondering that myself and did not get many replies on it, I will tell you I had my surgery 1/6/2011 and just today it started to go down. I was huge especially after I ate or drank anything,it's been 3 weeks for me so hang in there and walking helped I started yesterday on my treadmill but I was walking before that and walking and drinking tons of Water and gasx after I eat helps also :-) hope that helps!!!

I want to say it took about a week to ten days for the puffiness to go away. I didn't have gas pains at all so mine might have been sooner than others. It does get better every day - even if only slightly. Hang in there!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
