Just wait, the belly is the LAST thing to go!!! Throughout your journey you will notice that pants are too big, except the waist. It really stinks, but it beats having size 14's or 12's not be able to fit you at all..
I was swollen for several weeks after surgery, but if you have any type of large mass or something contact your Dr. immediately as well as any type of discoloration or pain. This could be sign of something more serious. Don't take your health lightly, anything can happen at any time that you may or may not expect.
Welcome to the other side and let us know if you have any more questions.
