3 months post op and still haven't lost the water! Plus hernia ???s

I had a lot of swelling after my TT (whihc was odd, because I had almost none with the panni removal or the hernia repair), and the swelling was mostly in my thighs (and, to a lesser extent, lower legs because of pre-existing problems with damaged valves in my veins).  My doctor did not recommend a compression garment after the TT, but agreed to let me try since the swelling was so bad.  It didn't really help.  The only thing that DID help was spednign as much time in the evening (and in bed) with my legs and thighs elevated above my heart.  Not comfy, but it did ease the swelling.  (Sometimes I would actually lay on my back on the floor with a pillow with my legs up on the seat of the couch...)

Hope it eases up for you!
