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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
