waist bands

Ok, I am VERY happy with my weight loss. Now that I got that out of the way, my abdominal area is still swollen so I can't wear straight bands! I am still in elastics. My tops are huge until you get to my belly. I wonder how long it will take for this swelling to go down?? Robin

wondering the same thing myself. my stomach has always been the biggest thing about me I hope that changes soon.

Robin, me too. My stomach is so swollen still. My first sugery was the 23rd and then I was back in OR on June 27th to fix a twisted intestine. So I was not sure if it was normal or because I had complications. I have lost 32 lbs. and my pants have 3 inches before they will button!!! Dana P

We need to hang in there! I guess, I don't want to put anything tight around my middle yet. I had an incision infection. So maybe that is why it is tender and swollen still! Robin

My dr said it can take up to two months for the swelling to be completely gone

Thanks! I thought I was crazy! I know that I can't be this big. I go back to work next Wednesday. Hopefully my pants won't bother me too much! Robin

How funny. Me to and since some of my wt loss is in my boobs, well the stomach is just more pronounced. HaHa. I did notice my port is a little visible now.

OMG I thought it was just me! I seem to have lost weight every place but my stomach!!!! I am so glad there are others too!
