Just How Long Does Swelly Belly Last?!!??
Hi,
9 Weeks post-op here. How long does the swelly belly last? I'm not nearly as swollen in the mornings, but by middle of day, I'm swollen again? When will it go away?!!
Thanks!

Just How Long Does Swelly Belly Last?!!??
I'm not sure what type of surgery you had, but I had a vertical incision and my belly only mildly swells on one side after a full day of activity. I think it reduced to very little at about 3 months. I am able to do ab exercises now and that helps. I think everyone is different but it will slowly go away over time.
Take care!

I'm 12 weeks and it is still here. It gets better each week but very gradually. I heard it can take 6months to a year. My mornings are close to normal and it grows though out the day.
It's been pretty depressing.

You ladies aren't giving me much hope! LOL
Today is day five and my belly is *ginormous*!
DH and I figure I'm about 5-6 months
He thinks it's kinda funny...
I think he's kinda daft.
Hmm.... Hula lessons. Just thought I may as well put this sucker to work!

I had my surgery one week before you did and I still get it
usually by mid to late afternoon. And it's getting harder now--like a bowling ball instead of squishy like a basketball.
Getting better bit by bit but not fast enough!

belly
What a relief...at my 1 week check I asked my doctor when my belly would go down, his reply was, "that's just you". There was really no information given to me about what to expect. Finding this site was just an accident. A wonderful accident.
