demf69 0 Posted April 11, 2014 Hi, My surgery was 3-13-14 and I was wondering how long my stomach will feel bloated/swollen? I have lost 38 pounds since the day of surgery but can not see the difference in my belly area. I had a very hard time with pain around incisions up until a few days ago. I still can not bend over with out causing discomfort. Is there anyone that is experiencing this? (Or did experience this?) I am frustrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarahjane79 397 Posted April 11, 2014 I'm 7 weeks out, and I still have a lot of incision pain. It's hard to bend over, sleep on my sides, etc. My doctor told me it's normal and can be painful for up to 6 months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomekast 559 Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Use a heating pad in the swollen belly. I did that and it took it all down after just a few days. I even slept with it on at night. And I could feel a slight pulling on my right side for several months. But now at 6 months out I dont feel it. Edited April 11, 2014 by gomekast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarlett Fire 10 Posted April 18, 2014 My doc said the swelling could be just bloating. I'm irregular, and once I'm regular again, swelling/bloating will go down I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
