Had my surgery Thursday. My stomach is kinda odd looking. It's swollen above one of my incisions and then dented in beneath it. Is that normal? I'm sore and feel bloated. I'm assuming that's normal as well. Just looking for some support from folks that have been through this. Thanks!

Hi we are twins............you have described my stomach exactly and I am 4 days post op...I only feel sore in one incision and that's the the right hand side one.

I'm 3 months out and yes it's very normal to be bloated and have an Ethiopian stomach. Your body is going to go through so many phases within the next year so be prepared but know you will get ton of support from this site!!! I'm down 54lbs and almost to goal so just walk walk walk for the first 30 days and get moving after that!!! Good luck

Thanks guys!!

Yes very normal. My tummy talks alot too, bubbles and gas parade all day. As the days progress it will decrease. Soreness, bloated, crampy and pain is all normal. Each day gets a little easier. Im going on 5 days postop.

GL with your journey and congrats on becoming a Sleever!

My friend is a surgical tech and she says it normal for one incision to be more sore because that's the hole where most of the surgical tool manipulation goes on.

Thanks guys!!

My stomach is weird too; it has bumps and valleys in very abnormal places and looks like an alien planet lol.
