You're only 5 weeks out. I dealt with swelling for a lot longer. Just be patient, try to decrease your sodium intake and if you have a compression type garment, you might try wearing it. And as Dr. L suggests, talk to your doctor and see what he/she would advise.
12/09 and 6/11, 9 skin removal procedures with Dr. Sauceda in Monterrey Mexico
Revised to the Sleeve after losing 271 lbs with the LapBand.
I'm 6 weeks out today and can only fit into 1 pair of jeans. The others are all too tight. I'm living in my terrycloth pants. I'm still in my compression garments and probably will for the next 6 weeks.
