Post-op stomach swelling

I am just under one week post-op from the sleeve. Overall, I'm feeling great after a rough first 2 days. I can get in my fluids and aside from a little incision pain I'm relatively pain free. My biggest issue right now is stomach swelling. Now I know everyone is different, but how long did it take for your bloated belly to subside?

    It took me 2-3weeks not to feel bloated. Walking is your best friend!
