Hi,

I had a revision from the band to RNY a week ago.  How much longer will I expect the stomach swelling to last?

I know the inflammation is from the surgery itself - not from gas.   It has decreased but I still look pregnant.

Thanks for any answers you can provide!

It's only been a week and between removing the band and the port and then having the RNY you have had more manipulation than others. You will probably see it go away completely in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks!  Good to know there is hope!  I didn't have a gut prior to surgery.  LOL!
