A member asked:

Why is my belly still so swollen 5 days after laparoscopic abdominal surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure : Could be an ileus, which means your bowels are slow to " wake up" and return to normal function. Could also be a bowel obstruction, which is much worse. You should call your surgeon and you should be seen.
