Bloating after surgery is part of your bodies response to the trauma, on top of the tumescent fluid that’s being bumped in, post operative constipation etc
Why does it leave and come back often? - Fluid retention fluctuations, exercise and dietary changes, further disruption in the lymphatic system if you aren’t getting the proper manual lymphatic therapy sessions, etc . If you ever feel as though your bloating is gas that won’t go away, consult with your doctor.
Bloating usually subsides within 3 months, although many people still deal with the ups and downs for up to a year. Staying on top of your proper compressions, making healthier dietary choices, getting MLD massages, drinking a lot of water and staying away from strenuous exercises too soon will support your bodies healing process at best.
