leg swelling
Did anyone have swelling on the tops of their legs after surgery? I had hernia repair, panni/tummy tuck a month ago and my right leg at the top is all swollen lately. I have been wearing the binder 24/7. Also, I am surprised at the amount of discomfort that I still have a month out. Anyone else experience this?
How long does this swelliing last? Thanks for the input as always.

YEP, this is me raising my hand......
After my TT I had swelling in my thighs (and but).
I fixed it by putting on a compression garment - it has a high waiste and the legs go to just above my knees. Worked like a charm!

I asked about this at the doc's office yesterday. I couldn't understand how I have lost 4 pounds plus my belly and not fit in my pre-op jeans. First thing he asked me was, "have you been wearing your compression hose?". I had not. His assistant said it was perfectly normal to swell in your hips and thighs and things would get better and better over time.
