Swelling and bloating

I'm currently 4 days post-op, but my stomach is still swollen and bloated. Just wondered about how long it normally takes for the swelling and bloating to go away.

Thanks!

  • I'm over 2 weeks post-op and sometimes still feel a little bloated but it's much better. It could also be that I haven't worn real clothes in over 2 weeks lol!

  • Lol. I'm hoping that the swelling and bloat will be gone by the time I go back to work, I dont want to have to deal with that too!

You'll get better soon, it's tough when you've your surgery and you still look Bip the Michelin man, by the end of 4 weeks you'll see a difference. I was lucky, my surgeon pumped the air back out so I didn't have the bloat many people do!

It should go away within 2 weeks. I think mine was gone within 7 days.

Good! I feel like I am pregnant, my stomach is puffier now then when I went in! I guess I will just need to be patient. Ugh. Lol
