I found that I would get swollen (and even now) when I move more. The night is the worst, and usually eases by morning. Today you will probably feel worse tonight, but might be surprised with less swelling in the morning. It's an interesting belly we get post plastics. 

That is exactly what has been happening for a while... It has been really bad at night for me. I have been trying not to take any pain meds, but I end up taking them more in the evening. I am still in alot of pain :( Trying to get thru it tho... It is super hard. 

I'm so sorry to hear that. What a crazy ride you've been on. 

You are right but T'is all good ;-)

I just keep envisioning beyond the here and now... I see the end coming soon!! :-D
