Re: for those who had surgery recently......

I had my surgery a couple of days after you on Thursday. By Saturday,

I looked like a squirrel storing watermelons for the winter in his

cheeks. But this started to go down rapidly and by Tuesday (6 days

post-op) all the major swelling was gone. I still have some residual

minor swelling over the surgical site and I had pronounced bruising

on my neck and chest but that almost completely disappeared within 10

days.
