I had surgery on july 20th and i'm doing really well, lost 16lbs total so far....but my stomach looks bigger than before surgery! is this normal? I was thinking maybe everything inside was swollen. My surgery saw me on tuesday and said everything looked fine but I didn't mention it. Anybody else get bloated?

(side note-i had my gallbladder removed and a 3cm hiatal hernia repair as well)

I too feel very bloated. Surgery was on 7/17....thinking that things are still swollen and will go down with time.

Wouldn't be great if once the gloating goes away it takes like 10# with it!

thanks for reassuring me... i needed that! oh i hope it does take some with it lol
