Hi and Welcome!!!

Thanks any ideas on the swollen belly one week after op it looks like I'm hiding a melon

It's prob just swelling from the Op...mines was swollen for a week! Check with your provider to give it a once over x

I myself had a bypass, so I cannot offer any advice, but here are plenty of banders on here so I am sure you will get some advice soon.

Thanks don't know why didn't expect swelling getting staples out on Monday so can ask then if it's still swollen

Its the gas hun, they fill your abdomen with gas to do the laprascopic surgery
It will go down in around 10 to 14 days x

Mine was like this, swelling has gone down considerably with healing and loads of farting to it's the gas.

You have a lot of swelling also...that takes a bit ig healing and time to go down. If your still having good restriction, your still swollen inside. You know all the swellings gone down when the hunger kicks back in with a Vengence before your first fill...that was about week 3 for me

Still got swelling feel wind moving at night just like a baby moving I'm getting hungrier but still feel full after small amounts calorie intake week 1 was struggling to take more than 400cals now on double that week 2 god knows what I will be like pre fill 6/1.

Desperate for a big salad sandwich or a piece if toast maybe one day x
