If so when?? I did walk on the treadmill for 30 mins tonite to see if that would help....any advice?? Is it gas?? Thanks....blessings to all. Xoxk

I'm 15 day post op and it does go down but I still think mine is not fully normal (some swelling or fluids still there) but close. At 5 days for sure not. Maybe at 8,9,10 days seem to be less distended. I had allot of gurgling/gas when I ate unil around 7 days. I was surprised it didn't last longer. Give it a few more days. Good luck

...when i was post op right up until about six weeks post op i had a distended stomach. its more to do with the fact that youve had surgery on the abdo than anything i think. i noticed this week that my stomach has flattened out heaps . i was operated on 22nd march.
