Stomach Swollen - Gall Bladder Out Last Week Posted: 11-23-05 15:03pm


I had my gall bladder removed last week through outpatient. I am one of those people that has to stick with a low fat diet for a while because anything with fat in it is making me nauseaus. I have lost 5 pounds in a week yet I can't even button my pants. I am still wearing my pj pants. How long does your tummy stay swollen?? I took a water pill and it's not helping. Is this pretty normal?

They use carbon dioxide to blow your stomach up during the surgery. It disipates gradually & is absorbed back into your body. It can take upto a month to go down completely. Dont take water tablets, as these will not help at all!

Thank you so much. I didn't think about that! Okay, I just need to be patient and wear a rubber band on my pants. :lol: I haven't done that since I was pregnant. :lol:

I've had it removed five days ago. And I am feeling great, no pain, no nothing, but I look like I am four months pregnant. And I began to worry something is not as it's supposed to be. But if you say that's normal and others experience it, then I shall not worry.

I should add, that you can experience pain under your ribs & in your shoulders due to this gas too.
