Swelling is expected to some extent after a cholecystectomy. If it is done with a laparoscopic approach you will most likely have 4 small incision sites, which may swell a bit in their own. You may also have some "bloating" type issues from any gases left trapped inside your abdominal cavity, not to worry though, this is CO2 gas that your body will absorb and should be gone in a few days. In an open approach the incision is more invasive and will require a much larger incision under your right rib cage. This involves cutting through muscle and much more swelling may be expected due to the amount of tissue being damaged in the process
