Unfortunately, you'll get a different answer for everyone. For me, the spasms/cramps after every bite/swallow lasted about two weeks. Severe to moderate pain in terms of the incision lasted 4-5 weeks, and it took about 2 months for all the surgical site pain to go (but I am an EXTREME case).

Wounds: For me the first two weeks sucked, but the second was a little better than the first. By four weeks I still felt stuff, but was no longer concerned.

I had a little trouble with gas, Constipation and diarrhea the first week, but that was mostly gone by the end of the first week.

As far as feeling full/uncomfortable/nauseous after eating, that can still happen for me and I am in my sixth week now. I think it is mostly a matter of not overeating though. It is hard to get used to such a big difference in stomach capacity - it is so different than before, I can still overshoot. Getting better at gauging how much to try to eat and how soon to stop if I feel something though. Unpleasant experiences teaching me. Fortunately I have not vomited.

Are these answers linked to laparoscopic surgery?
