I had a lap done last thursday and I am still swollen/bloated??? Should I still feel like a balloon??? I still have an extra 3 inches on my waist and cannot button my pants. I am also having alot of gastro problems. Not sure if this is the start of IBS or from sugery? I have not been eating much because of the gastro pain, so it not weight gain.

Humm. You should call your doc. to make sure it isn't something more than just the gas. The gas usually diffuses over a couple days. I think by a week it should all be gone. Not sure, though.

You are so awesome ouchy...you always reply so fast with great info. I have a call into his nurse. I am kind of wondering if it is IBS shining through?? After lunch my stomach cramps and just rumbles and the toot, toot gas bad!!! And it is painful!!!
I did not want to believe this pain could be IBS but it just might!!!

I have no idea. Mine got better after the endo was lasered off my intestines. Oh. Until I decided to fry bacon and then scrable eggs in the bacon grease! LOL! IBS-deluxe! I guess it could be IBS. Did you eat any trigger foods?

Trish, My lap was Wednesday and I am still a bit bloated and have tummy gas. Haven't had a BM yet and I'm now into my 3rd day out. Hope your pain eases.

Hi gals,
Isn't that GAS feeling terrible? UGH! My last lap was done on March 16, 2007 and believe it or not...I feel like I still have gas inside. I felt like a balloon till about two days ago! My next appointment s on April 10th and I'm going to ask him about it and I'll get back to this thread ;
Hope this helps!
