Kabranda 0 Posted March 20, 2010 Can I get some input on how long it takes before your abdominal swelling goes away after surgery? My surgery was 3/3 and I losing. I can feel it in my hips, bottom and legs but my abdominal is still swollen and my pants fit somewhat looser in the waist but not as much as the hips and legs.
