Laparoscopy recovery

I had a laparoscopy 3 weeks ago for a cyst removal. All went well and healed great no issues there! I didn’t rest as long as I should have due to having a 1 year old so get bad on my husband and Mam to help out 24/7 with the baby! Just wondering how long it takes for the abdomen swelling to go down? I don’t know if I’m still swollen or just gain ALOT of weight in the past 3 weeks! My usual jeans don’t fit my stomach but the fit my legs still just fine. I’m praying I’m still swollen!

That sounds a bit long tbh. After an exploratory lap my swelling went down pretty quickly, I was back in work after a week so my clothes were fitting fine.

After a laparoscopic hysterectomy I was in my jeans within a couple of weeks. Maybe phone and speak to the Dr?
