Gallbladder Disease Answer A27746
Hello and welcome to e health forum.

It seems that your current issues are more related to the gall bladder surgery, which you have recently undergone.

The swelling in your stomach is due to bloating as a result of reduced intestinal motility and distension. These issues will resolve with a few more days.

You can apply ice packs to the area that are hurting, and it will help with the itching, welts, etc.
