Stomach swelling post op?

Hi everyone how long did it take your swelling in your stomach to go down. Surgery 9/18

After my RNY gastric bypass surgery, I do not recall my stomach swelling. I had some weight gain because they pumped your body full of fluids in the hospital. This weight gain took less than a week to go away. After surgery your body also produces a lot of gas. Walking helps with this condition. The blood thinner medicine that I took caused my body to bruise very easily. My body really looked like I had been in a boxing match because of the bruising. But after a month this went away.

Thank you for responding. My stomach wasn't this big prior to sugary but it's big. I'm doing to do more walking see if that helps
