You will have the belly possibly for months - it will get less and less - and be triggered more by when you overdo than because of the actual surgery (swelling is a natural reaction of the body to 'injury' - and your innards were injured, just intentionally.)
Give it time - it's only 3 months - and it can take up to a year for the body to completely heal.
In the meantime, I found control top panties or hose to help support the tum-tum helped with lessening the swelling.

oh yeah I still have the swelly belly most of the time. By the end of my work day, I have it bad! Some days it even aches. But it is getting better. I still have a ton of weight to lose, so it doesn't help to have the swelly belly on top of it! LOL
