Another member asked a similar question without a response. I am two weeks post op. here is that member's question," I Had Body Jet/Aqualipo 6 Days Ago on Upper Lower Abs, Flanks. When Will Swelling Go Down? I know there should be swelling and I wear my compression garment. But I did not consider I would not be able to fit into my clothes...Any idea as to when the swelling will subside enough to wear my prior pants?" I cannot even fit into my "fat" jeans yet and the scale says I have gained 6lb
