    So I’m told this is normal that I look about 20 weeks pregnant after the op?
    I’m now 9 days po, haven’t taken co-codamol for four days now and I look huge!
    Anyone have any tips on how to get back to normal and how long it takes? 🙁 xx

    Hi Ladies there was a thread on here awhile ago about taking charcoal tablets and water retention tablets, I took them about 1 week before and 1 week after, I had a small amount of bloating but this was only in the evening for a short time, I found it helped loads, You can purchase from Holland and Barrett.xx

    Hi ladies

    My bloating lasted about 2 weeks, I had peppermint tea and that really helped me
