Infertility

Post op question

I had surgery on Thursday, an ovarian drilling, tube/dye injection, and laparoscopy to remove a significant amount of endometriosis throughout my muscles and bowls. I been in somewhat of a drugged haze and comming out of it today noticed how swollen my stomache is ( I look about 12 weeks prego). I'm happy to say that even off the meds there is very little pain but was wondering if any of you did similar how long it took the swelling to go down? I may have to go buy new clothes for work if it's not down in a couple of days!  Thanks!

  • I was pretty swollen after my lap. They pump gas in your stomach when they do the surgery. It got better after a few days, I wore leggings and a tunic my first day back to work. Feel better!
