How swollen are you afterwards?

How swollen are you after the surgery? I am wondering if the dress I wear before the surgery will fit afterwards. I am hoping I won't need to pack extra clothes. Any advice is appreciated. Peace, Laurie

It's been 5 days and my stomach is still swollen and they said it can be up to 8 weeks. Wear loose comfortable clothes when you go in for surgery and home. Excuse my messy bathroom. Just got home from surgery a day ago. Here is a pic of my belly today. 20151012_095357.jpg

Thank you, the dress is stretchy, but I don't want it to be tight across my stomach. So a skirt and top will do. Thanks again.

I am having my surgery in Mexico, so am packing real lite. I was hoping if it fit on the way to, it would fit on the way back. No worries though, I will wear a loose elastic waste skirt. Thanks for your help folks, it is very much appreciated. Peace
