After 4 yrs still swelling

I am still happy with my results. But, I wanted to know if anyone else still experiences morning and evening swelling. When I get up in the morning my stomach is mostly flat. After a couple of hours it begins to swell. The swelling lasts a few hours and then it dissipates. However, in the evening it starts to swell again to the point that I am very uncomfortable. I had to have the inverted t so I was cut to nearly between the breast. It swells so much around the bra area I have to take my bra off. I'm not sure of the cause. I exercise daily and for the most part I watch what I eat. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

I'm 2 months from being 2 years post op. I'm still very happy with my results and doing great keeping the weight off. I am still having a great deal of swelling in my tummy, b4 l eat, after l eat. It is very uncomfortable. I work out five days a week and I walk seven days a week. Any suggestions on other things I can do? I still have the fat pockets on each side which prohibits the true hourglass figure. I have spent $1000 with lymphatic massage to no avail.

It's been a year
I will see my PS next month to schedule my nip tucks. I have a doggy ear on the left side and my bellybutton has to be redone. I love my new body. I continue with weight loss effort. Never a day goes by where I am not ecstatic with my results. Can you ladies out there tell me how to stop buying clothes.
