I am just entering week 5 today, and I notice my stomach is still swollen. I had tried on several of my jeans that use to fit before my surgery and they don't fit now. How long did it take for your stomach to go back to normal?

Give it two more weeks , barring pain or fever in which case you go to Dr or ER

then make appt to see Dr and ask his opinion,,,did you go for the standard 6 week post op? or was yours sooner? what did Dr say of abdomen?

Go to your Dr and see if your retaing water,,some women take longer to heal then others so it could be just that.

If your ankles are also swollen get to d/r stat.
