Swelling

[🌱VeGan❤️HeArT🌱 97]

I was wondering when does the tummy swelling and recover from the trauma of surgery really go away? I’m 5 weeks PO and still am very sensitive, and still feel as if I’m swollen.

Usually it goes down in like 2 weeks.. I was pain free by then

I felt swollen and had pain for close to 5 weeks. I think it just depends on the person and the surgery. I had a more complicated surgery and came home from the hospital 15 pounds heavier than I came in. Lots of painful gas, but the more you walk, the better it gets! Hope you are feeling better soon!

It wasn't until my sixth week before my pain subsided. Just keep walking and taking it easy. No heavy stuff yet. Best wishes!
