Swelling is finally improving
2.5 weeks post op. Lost another pound of swelling and I am starting to see my abs coming through now that the swelling is reducing! Woohoo!
Only place it is not improving is the crotch ? which is still puffy and painful.

Awesome. The crotch area will go down soon.
I went by inches. My waist was 4 inches bigger immediately after my lbl. By the end of month one I had lost 3 of the 4 inches. It took about six months to get back down to my pre-op waist measurement (my waist did not get any smaller than it was pre-op).

Good to hear!
I measured a week ago was up 3 inches. Pretty sure I've dropped another inch. Will measure on Friday. I'm also not expecting my waist to send up any smaller.
