Bloated

Hi

I just had my band put in 5 days ago and still feel so very bloated. When should this go down or does it vary?

Thanks

    It took me about a week. Hope you feel better soon. Make sure you are walking and getting around. It helps

    They pump you full of saline and fill your body cavity with gas. It can take up to month before you feel somewhat normal but I'd guess 2 weeks is avg.
