swelling

i recently had a pannilculetomy on 4-12-10 and i have swelling in my thighs and minimal swelling in  ankles and abdomen i was jus wondering about how long it takes to start subsiding, thanx in advance!

After my TT I had no swelling in my tummy it was all in my thighs/legs.  I put on a compression garment and TEDS....it took the swelling way down in about 3 days.  If you are not wearing a compression garment (looks like a girdle with zippers on both sides) do yourself a favor and get into one.

Hope you feel better soon.
