“How long does it take for swelling to go away after abdominal surgery?”

In general, it takes about 2 to 3 months for swelling to go down from abdominal surgery along the incision. There can be generalized abdominal bloating, which could go down much quicker, and there are many types of abdominal surgeries such as a hernia repair would be much different than eight organ transplant. Those are both potential abdominal surgeries. One could recover quickly enough to go back to work within one month. There’s even minimally and basic laparoscopic surgery or robotic surgery where the incisions are quite small and patience can return to work quickly and the swelling is minimal.

Drink green tea for natural diuretics. Otherwise consult with Surgeon.
