Question:
I'm 4 days post-op, lap RNY. How long does it take for the swelling to go down?

I'm swollen everywhere! Thanks for your input.    — crawford1213 (posted on September 24, 2002)

My guess is the swelling is from all the fluids they have pumped into you by IV's. About the 5day out, the swelling started to go down. You will it will be rapid, once it starts......good luck
