I am a little over a week out and feel great!..but if I do more than half a day's worth of activity, I get really swollen. I was wondering how long it takes for this not to happen? The company holiday party is next weekend and I have plans for new years, too! Thanks!

It took months for my swelling to get under control, but I did go to a fancy party 18 days after my lbl and was able to fit into my dress.

Dont do anything the day of the party or you WILL be swollen. Im 4 months out and still get swollen depending on the day,what i eat or even just how much i move around. Everyone is different but take it slow and dont over do it during these 1st couple of weeks. Happy healing and congrats on your journey...

Thanks guys! I find that I wake up and feel fine so I do too much and by mid afternoon I'm laying on the sofa with my feet proped up! I have to learn how to take it slow but I don't think I'm a very fast learner sometimes!! :)
