Post-op stomach swelling

[BloomingLotus 179]

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?

Oh man, I'm totally in the same boat! Almost one week post-op, incision itchiness, and one bloated belly! *subscribes to topic*

I am on my 6th day and still have soooo much gas pain even with the Gas X strips. I finally slept some last night though to hopefull its improving. I go for my first post op appointment tomorrow.

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