Marvelous,  but don’t believe it was Olive oil alone as that nursing care you did is a big essential part of successful treatment for bloat. Congrats on that on doing both and thanks for sharing. That the Olive oil works so well fits right in with Penny’s advice

When you re introduce you might want to use the neutral space with a big salad in the middle trick , just a simple one so as not to aggravate Ariel's tummy. Sometimes a dot of Vicks Vapo-Rub is placed under the noses, that further kills their individual odors, and they all smell the same.  If it doesn’t work put here cage nose to nose by the big one.  Sows have a pecking order and are as territorial as boars, and it sounds like the pecking order got changed while she was out of cage. Another trick is to separate all three, or put Ariel in with one but not the other until they get their new bearings. Make sure there is more than one food and water while they are re-introducing as sows will hoard also.  
Good luck   Sandy and Sammy
