Post op

Hi all. I am on day 6 and my stomach is still swollen. How long for the majority of people post op did it take for the swelling to go?

Second question: I still have not passed any stools. Is this quite normal too?

    I'm 10 days post op and still have some swelling My doctor said it is because of all the repairs she had to do. As far as BM's go mine have been pretty normal, but still liquids only so I only go every couple days. Oh sooner or later normal will resume!
