After surgery I found my stomach to be extremely huge. Is this normal?
Answer: Bloating Bloating is very common after all surgeries. It is most like caused by the anesthesia and can be prolonged by narcotics (and almost all medications). Initially, you may notice more burping. As the gut wakes up, you will start to fart more frequently and the bloating will improve. If you have pain in the abdomen, you should call you surgeon.
