Still swollen

[Mnicole 17]

My surgery was on 10/13, I'm still sooooo bloated/swollen. I'm very sore as well. Is something wrong or am I just paranoid?

Probably paranoid but a call to your MD is completely appropriate.

Have you been walking and drinking?

I was swollen for the first 2 to 3 weeks then I slowly noticed it going away. You are only 5 days out from your surgery give it time, but if you do not feel right call your Dr.

Ya I was so swollen on 5-6th day. Was walking and drinking but nothing helped. After day 7, life was good.

You stomach will remain swollen for up to six weeks while your body heals. Good Lord - you just had major surgery. If your ankle had been operated on, would you be surprised it was still swollen after 5 days? Give yourself plenty of time to heal. If you are concerned, call your doc.

Yes. I remember thinking "wtf, this thing was supposed to help me lose weight!!!" when I got back from the hospital. Of course I was just bloated/swollen.

I think I likely still am, as I'm down 40lbs and in the same jeans as always.
