Immediately following surgery through the umbilicus, your abdomen will be distended by the gas the doctor uses to make room for his scopes and tools, and to give a clearer view at the organs he is examining.
The gas will be expelled following the surgery and there is no reason for the swelling to return on it's own. If your abdomen suddenly appears to be distended following surgery after going down. You might want to give the doctor a call.
