Well time is bringing the swelling down nicely. I feel amazing. I'm not extra tired or extra sore. I went to church yesterday, which is my first time out besides Drs appointments. Happy healing friends. The pic is Oct on the left and today 12/19 on the right.

Post op Swelling

MomX7
I've been swollen since I've woke up after surgery. It's hard for me to tell a difference from before and after. My husband says he notices a big difference but of course we are our own worst critic

Swelling can happen for months full results at 6-12 months don't be hard on yourself you deserve to look how you feel. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I am 13 days post op and feeling good

My surgeon said swellen can last from 6mons to a year. I am almost 5wks post op and my swelling is down tremendously. I tend to swell more at night. I started wearing my compression garment when my drain came out. I wear my binder that the surgeon gave me at night. Your swellen will start to get better. Happy healing.

If it helps any, I can tell the difference. Stay compressed. Day 1 &2 I was flat as a board then swelling, but I could see the difference. Day 8 swollen felt like I would pop then day 9 flat again. Day 10 swollen but not as much but definitely swelling. So some days are better than others. I'm 48 DPO and still swelling but definitely flatter. Just remember it's a process. Try to drink at least 2 liters of water a day to help. Happy healing.

Day of treatment

I made it

MomX7
Well I made it to the flat side. I've not seen my tummy yet. I'm just relaxing lying in my bed sleeping mostly. I arrived at the surgery center at 530am and left to come home around 3pm. I stayed a little longer than expected due to pain control and sleeping a little too much. I will be able to see my tummy tomorrow and I'll take some pics then. Happy healing my sisters.
