So I am wondering if my stomach is still swollen. To me, my stomach is sticking out more and more "jiggly"  I also feel some slight cramping on my lower/middle left side. My surgery was on the 13th of April so 11 days out?

When did your stomachs feel "normal"?

 Yes your stomach is still swollen. I did not feel normal till 3 months out. I do not know about your pain I did not have that. 
My surgeon gave me the tool. Now it is up to me to use it right.

Tomorrow I will be 6 weeks out. After the first week or so I did not really feel any pain or discomfort in my belly but as the weight started dropping I notice that I am already hanging and my belly is getting lower which pulls and the last week or so I have had some tenderness and discomfort in that same area. I have a hernia so that adds to it but my surgeon said that as you lose and your skin hangs you will feel it and we are still healing. I don't think it is anything to worry about but if the pain gets more pronouced I would make a call to your surgeon. It can't hurt.

Hi Lisa, I'm 21 days out.  I'm still swollen alot near the drain site.  I also have pain in this area.  It gets better very day.  I think it will take us a long time to feel normal again. We have had alot done to our bellys...  Good Luck...Jane
