I know, I know......I am inpatient.  Tomorrow will be a month out from an anchor TT.  I was wondering how long it took everyone to see a VISIBLE difference in the swelling.  I know it can take months, or even up to a year before it completely goes away but when does it start to disappear??  I don't feel like the swelling has gone down at all.  Thanks and Happy 4th of July everyone!

I'd say mine finally started getting better about 4 months out.  I'm 6 months now and still have the occasional "bad day".  I wore my compression garment religiously initially, then it was getting too big and I bought a garment from Kohls and wore than when I needed one. 

Now - I seemed to be the only one that noticed, but it wasn't just the visual aspect of it, it was how I felt too - bloated, etc.....

Happy 4th of July to you too!
