How long does it take for the swelling to go away after TT

I had my TT 2 weeks ago today, have both drains out and most of the staples. I still cant get into any of my regular pants even the larger ones, how long does this take? I have been wearing elastic waist pants when I am out of the house and pajama pants in the house. I look alot flatter but can see that its swollen. Deb

Individual but prob why we also often wear a binder for a few weeks.
Many complain of swelling by the evening.
Hopefully others will chime in.

I'm 12 weeks out from an LBL, and I'm painfully swollen. Its gotten worse recently. I hear the swelling can last off and on for about six months to a year :(

Thats not good, was hopeing to get into some of my shorts and crop pants soon, ugh

 Just had a tummy tuck yesterday and my surgeon said in a month, the swelling will be about 30% and then a couple more months for the rest of the swelling to go down.

 I really think it has a lot to do with how much fat you have on your body after surgery. Maybe I am wrong but when I had my first surgery when I was much further from my goal weight I was swelling a lot even a year out. 

TT May 7, I still have some swelling but it looks great. My PS said Im ahead of the game in that area, so I assume that means he expected me to be more swollen. I wore abdominal binder 24 hrs a day for 2 weeks and now Im allowed to have it off just at night for 2 more weeks. Then on to spanks
