Hi Mandy - sorry your still feeling sore and bloated (i can't give advice as an official loser) but if it continues i would get in touch with you bariatric team and ask their advice.

I'm sure one of our more experienced losers will come on soon and be able to help you in some way.

Sending you hugs with fairy dust to help you feel better soon x

Hi there, try not to worry you are still healing and the swelling takes time to go down completely...

i was bloated for just over two weeks, as caz says it takes a while for swelling to go down. Julie

Thanks for the advise, I think that I need to step back and think about what my body has just gone through. I just thought because I was feeling ok, that my body should also be heald, but I was forgetting I have only just had my op 2 weeks ago. Thanks again Mandy x

Oh my gosh! I didnt even expect there to be any 'noticeable' swelling- what a plank i am.Does it get very bad- like pregnant proportion????

Actually on a good note- perhaps the swelling would push out my rolls so they look smoother

my band scars.. the bruising looks worse that it is and does go away pretty quickly. i was bloated but that also subsides. the port scar is at the very top as my port is placed in my chest.
