Hello
Yes perfectly normal sometimes they have to fill you up with air to be able to access certain areas.also all the rummaging around in there will create gas. It does disperse and settle down. I do find my endo causes my stomach to bloat hugely on occasion anyway.
Hi, yes totally normal could take 3 weeks to settle.
Yep! That sounds about right. You'll be pregnant for a while, but it will settle eventually. Give it time. Don't look in the mirror too often and don't stress about it. All the best.
I had my first lap on Tuesday and still can't fit in jeans because of my swollen belly!
Hello, I had a lap on Monday and am still pretty swollen and tender, also still have gas pains so believe this is normal. I hope it calms down very soon.
