I think you need to be monitored for at least 4 weeks and have regular checkups with your dr. you need to tell them all what you feel, and they have to tell you what is normal and what is not, dont wait contact them and know if anything is not ok. good luck and let us know what happened

I think 4 weeks may be a bit soon.  In general, it takes your body about 6 weeks to recover.   My surgery was a laparatomy and not laproscopy and it took me more like 10 weeks before I felt ok for sex even though I got the all clear at 6 weeks.  The guidelines the doctor gives you are not going to fit everyone.  Some women feel better sooner than others.  I think you should give your body more time to heal.  It is common to still hurt this soon after surgery.  The part about your tummy swelling sounds unusual though.  I think you should call your doctor and ask about that.  I hope you feel better soon.
