Hopefully 6 Posted January 12, 2013 Hey, I was banded on Thursday and came home today. Before the surgery I was 8 pounds lighter than when I coming came home today. I figured it's from Fluid and swelling. Here is my question my belly is so swollen. And I am concern and wondering If this was normal and if so how long does it take to go down?

FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted January 12, 2013 If you stick to the liquids and do what the doctor says you should see it go down in a week or so.... It's normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
