I am 10 months out and still have abdominal swelling. My doc said it can last up to 1 year but wondering if anyone else has this problem. I sometimes look like i'm about 4-5 months pregnant and then the next day will be completely flat. A compression garment helps but it is hard to find one tight enough. I am so frustrated and just want to know if anyone else has this problem. Thanks for you imput.
Aloha,
Linda

I'm over a year and a half out from my LBL and I still have occassional swelling.  Not as bad as the beginning but it flares up once in a while.  I've just learned to live with it at this point.  No one really notices but me.
