When does the swelly belly go away?
I guess the title says it all, and I don't need to tell you how uncomfortable it is, but I can't fit much of my clothing yet and it's getting difficult to find stuff to wear! It's getting cold here in Maine, so my comfy items are becoming limited. Did you have to go and get some things for this time period as well?
Thanks in advance for your answers!

When does the swelly belly go away?
Sorry to say that mine is still here. I am 4.5 months post op. It was getting better though until I went on a girl's shopping weekend and over did it. By the end of the weekend I looked 5 months pregnant. It is still worse now than it was before that weekend.

When does the swelly belly go away?
Sorry to say this...8 mo. post op this week, and is still hanging around! Not as bad some days...I am wearing totally different style of clothes, now. Anything loose fitting! Still can't wear some of my jeans, and most of my tops just don't look right anymore. So...had to make some changes.
Good luck! Life is good!

I don't know but, boy, is my swelly belly bad tonight. I look about 8 months pregnant. It's sad when sweats 2 sizes to large are cutting into you. Hopefully, I'll be back to normal (whatever that is) tomorrow morning.

I've had luck with workout pants that have drawstrings. They aren't as binding as regular sweats. I'm hoping to get back into my jeans someday but not expecting it to be anytime soon!
