Surgery Was 10/3, My Stomach Looks Swollen Like Grapefruit Under My Skin

This may sound weird, but my stomach is swollen on left side, looks like grapefruit under my skin, it doesnt hurt but looks odd. Has nyone ever experience this? Will it go away? Im giving it a few days before i call doc, since i just had operation i think it may go down? Hopefully? And by the way i have not lost a single pound since surgery:(

Yes I have experienced it. I called mine,my alien child. It would swell to feel like a basket ball under my skin. It is where you have sutures in the muscle. I cant wait till it is gone. Im 2weeks out and it is still painful. All the gas and fluids will go away soon and you will begin to see loss.
