Distention, yes. Start probiotics daily.
Yes because until your bowels resume normal function things can be backed up. Also swelling in your belly happens as it heals. But if it’s pain or fever go get checked.

This is best answered by a surgeon, but I would need to know more about the bloating. Does it happen after eating? Are you having normal bowel movements? Is there abdominal pain?
