I'm no doctor but I guess the pain is the bigger concern than the swelling. I have a bulge in my lower abdomen everyday since surgery right where my port is. According to my dr, the port sits on or close to the intestines so whenever there's any gas passing through it causes swelling. It does cause discomfort if it bulges a lot or I mess with it; maybe you're dealing with something similar? That being said, you already said you're getting tested, which is good. I really think chances are your symptoms are band related and not a sign of some major ailment. Just keep doing what you're doing by keeping in touch with you dr; better safe than sorry. I wish you well no matter what!

maybe you should stick to light exercises.I too tried some exercises and got a swelling.

I think the insides take almost 2 months to heal.

We always think of the worse first... Don't do this to yourself. It could be a Hernia, or a pocket of Blood that needs draining. Is it near your Port?

If it was what you said,,, I think your surgeon would have seen it.

Mine looked into my GROIN ! and removed my Lymph nodes because they were over sized (HE THOUGHT CANCER) I asked him what would you have done if it was?

He said I would have close you right up....

So don't go there Please ! Let them see what it is.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
