Hello,
Bloating and belching after a surgery may be possible sequence of side effects of prescribed antibiotics, analgesic or other medications. The effects of anesthesia, one must be ware of and hence it cannot be concluded as a possible differential diagnosis. However, if you can provide me details of current medicine basket, I can guide further in detail.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
