is it normal to be very very bloated the 6th day after surgery?

yes it's very normal. It's from all the gas they pump into your stomache from the laproscopic surgery. It is very painful but it should go away soon. I hope. Take care and good luck. Jeannie

I am 7 days post op from Lap Band. I am still feeling bloated and at times it is painful. I did hear that it is normal. Others told me to walk alot because that helped them.

Very much so ... I had a cyst removed several years ago and I had gas for almost two weeks.
