Swollen Tummy, bloating 5 days post/opt

Hello everyone, I had my surgery last Friday! Today, I feel bigger than ever my belly fills like a balloon ready to pop. I have lost a total of 19lbs everything seems to be getting smaller but my belly seems to be growing! Is this common?

    You should call your Doctor immediately. I had the same thing, your stomach is not emptying properly. You can be given a medicine to help this move.

    Thanks! I had a call into the doctors office and they returned my call! I have an appointment tomorrow afternoon. This swelling sure doesn't seem right, but it seems like everything is flowing thru okay as far as BM and urine..... Thanks for the quick response!
