Day 10 post hiatal hernia surgery. I realize recovery will be slow, still on liquid diet. Belly is still very swollen. Understand swelling peaks around the 2 week mark. Does the swelling go down rapidly or slowly? Jeans are still tight even though I've lost almost 10 lbs. Trying to go back to work in 4 days, but really uncomfortable in jeans (which I typically wear for work due to nature of profession). What experiences have others had regarding wearing pre-surgery clothes? This probably sounds petty, but this is a true problem. Any similar experiences from others who have had this surgery? Thanks so much!
