I have had many surgeries, gallbladder the old fashioned, big incision
way, several laps, hysterectomy, blah,blah, I had an ovary and tube
removed with the scope in 1991. I think it was probably the worst
surgery I had. I was bloated for about 2-3 weeks, more sore than any of
my other laps. I think most of what you describe is very normal, as it
has not even been a full week yet
Do you have any fever?
