I've had very little swelling overall. I have had some in my thighs. I hear of folks that have really significant swelling, especially at the end of the day, and while I have had times where I put on my binder for support, I've not had any stomach swelling that has appreciably changed the size/appearance of my tummy. Consider yourself lucky!!

I have had very little swelling. It all seems to be in one spot and my surgeon said that is over top of where the mons area was attached. I do know there is some swelling b/c I know (4 weeks out) am noticing it headed back into my pubic area, I guess that will pass just like everything else!:-)

My ankles and thighs have swelled more!

I may have had a few extra potholes along the way, but the journey has been good!

I am second yer and swell like hell.
But I just had breast reduction in January 6, it can affect swelling as well.
Lucky you! I hate that swell hell.

I didn't have much swelling, but stayed in my binder for the full six weeks it was prescribed. At six weeks I developed a seroma in my leg and now it's taken to swelling some. I tend to swell a little when I'm out and about, on my feet most of the day. Nothing that isn't cured with a nights sleep.

I started out with a lot of swelling and now have very minimal swelling at 5 months out. You were lucky not to have a lot of swelling.
