I'm almost >30. Not a doc but...Did you have a laparotomy or a laparoscopy? You are only about 3 weeks postop. If you had a laparotomy (abdominal incision)swelling from the surgery is not unusual at this point. Is it worse after you have been on your feet for a while? Recovery from abdominal surgery can take 6 weeks. I would give it another 3 weeks before you start to get concerned. Good Luck!
