Did anyone get bloated after the band? And how long does it last?

Yes, I think that's pretty normal. I think it lasted for me throughout my first week. I had lost weight, but it didn't feel like it yet.

I was bloated/swollen for about 2 weeks. I actually gained 6 lbs from the morning of surgery to two days later and three inches on my stomach. It was all gone at the end of two weeks with a few extra pounds.

Yeah I'm still swollen also. I haven't weighed myself yet lol. Don't want to get upset if its not a smaller number so I keep myself off the scale. But I will probably weigh once a week

I had surgery on the 16th, I walked out if hospital on the evening of the 17th like I was 6 months pregnant! Today, it's better but still swollen and gassy. Any idea how long that takes to go away!?

I'm on Panamax Elixir double strength for pain during the day, Pain Stop at night and am still on Mobic in the mornings. I am walking around the house, but am a bit tighter as Dr repaired a hiatus hernia as well (I had no idea I had it).

I had a hernia repair at the same time also. Was up and walking the evening after surgery and out and about some the next few days. Always ensuring to nap, relax and no lifting

It'll go down. I think it's basically an effect of the surgery.
