Post surgery question
My Panniculectomy and muscle tightening is Monday. I have a question about how much swelling there will be and trying to get an idea of how long until I can fit into my regular clothes again. Or when I can comfortably wear my jeans again. I have no idea what to expect in that department. Thanks in advance. I am more than a little nervous.

It depends..........everyone is different.
I had basically no swelling after my TT and was able to fit in my regular clothes when I went to my follow up appointment on day 10.
Now, after my recent Inner Thigh surgery that's a different story....swelling has been nasty (although much better now).
So it varies with everyone...some folks swell bad after the tt and it often lasts 3-6 months....there are a few women I chat with who are still swollen, still cannot fit into their pre-op clothes and weigh more than when they went in in it's been 9 months for one and almost a year for another.
Drink plenty of protein and take bromelain and arnica montana to improve your healing and reduce swelling.
Best wishes!!
