Hello, Theresa .. and Welcome to the other side. "VERY
swollen?" Not usual. Bruising, tenderness in normal. Also normal
to feel some warmth over the area --- but any seeping along the incision
line, increasing redness & warmth, get thee to the surgeon's office for
a check-up. ............... Now, about gaining weight while in the hospital
or during the first two weeks -- totally normal. Eventually you will pee
it all out and drop 15 pounds. .... Congratulations on being able to
belch. I had a hard time doing that the first couple of weeks. --- come
