How long after surgery does the swelling and bloatedness go away?
That seems like an extremely long time. I was a little swollen but within 2 weeks the swelling was gone and I was losing. I would put a call in to the doc. Is it just on your stomach or are you experiencing swelling in your legs/arms? If you are experiencing in your extremeties...I would really call the doctor very quickly.

So you really have a lot of swelling and bloating? That's not typical. I would call your surgeon today.
I never had so much swelling or bloating that I looked pregnant. I may have had a little swelling or bloating the first week or so, but nothing very noticeable.

I totally agree. I walked out wearing the shorts I walked in with and they were a tad tighter due to 10 lbs of fluids I had gained from the IVs, but never was swollen or bloated in a noticeable way.
call your doctor--and I hope they have good news for you!
