How long being swollen?

[Just Rob 2]

Good evening all,

I'm newly banded, as of Friday morning and surprisingly I feel better then I expected, no nauciousness and I can drink most Fluid without issue. However, I feel slight tenderness in my stomach in the area of the surgery. It does hurt when I walk extended periods because of swolleness. At times it feels rock hard and other times it passes ... I assume it's also digestive gases trapped.

My question is I assume it's normal to be swollen from the surgery ... How long did it take you folks to get back to "normal"?

I am 2 weeks out from the VSG, and my stomach is still swollen. There are times when it is not so bad, but almost always still swollen.
