Had the bodytite surgery (stomach and flanks) on Tuesday and then had the bandages, sponges and compression jacket put on. Took this off on Wednesday morning and no swelling. The same again was put back on. Friday morning and gone to replace the compression jacket and my stomach has turned into a paunt / pot belly. Is this swelling? My flanks are a lot better (although a bit swollen) but I look strange as skinny but with a stomach on me. Is this normal and will go down with swelling?
