Will the swelling EVER go down? (pics)

Swelling can last from 6 months to a year.  I'm almost 6 months and still swell.  No one notices but me either.  Everybody tells me I don't look swollen but all they can compare to is what I looked like with my hanging apron which I don't have anymore.  We just have to be patient.  It will go away. 

I had my tt in 2006 and it still swells from time to time, I think it was honestly a whole year before it didn't feel swollen all the time.  Now it only swells once in a while but I know when it feels rock hard its swollen or if my pants get tight from one day to the next.  Its worth it in the end, to have a flat stomach is a dream.

Good Luck
