Pain worse one week after lap

I have had a Lap a week ago today.  I was feeling better but then last night I started having dull pain in my lower abdomen (like I was punched in the stomach) now it has been getting worse along with the bloating.  I can hardly move like the day after surgery.  I was wondering if it was normal for anyone else to start feeling worse after they thought they were feeling better.

I had the same thing happen.  About a week after I started feeling worse again.  I even managed to bump my belly button and had it bleed.  I think when they do something like a lap and fill you up with that gas it is only natural for it to take a while  before you start feeling normal again.

There could be trapped air that is trying to get out. It usually takes 2-3 weeks to recover from a lap, also depending on what they did.  

Are you on any BCP or Lupron?  

How are you feeling today?
