Hello Sleevers,

I am a newby and am having real concerns. My abdomen is so distended and seems to be getting worse. I feel fine, am without a temp, on Clear liquids, and with only mild incisional pain. Can anyone please advise?

Is it possible your weight is dropping so it looks swollen? Do you have a tube in you?

It's probably gas but it might be an idea to check with your team.

Thank you for responding. I have only lost 4-5 lbs and am drinking only clear liquids. My stomach is very distended, taut but not rigid.

I hope so Kate, is a bit concerning.

no tube left in, just sleeved.

I was sleeved 12/2 and my stomach has felt very bloated and upset...

That makes me feel better. Thank you. I'm not alone.

I was distended and bloated for a good week. I felt like you could pop me with a pin. Lol keep walking

I'm a week out from surgery and I have lost 6lbs during that week. I noticed today that my abdomen looks larger then before. I have been blaming swelling and irritation from the surgery. If that's true or not I'm not sure, but anywho just wanted to say I'm having the same thing going o with me hopefully it's just one of this things!

That's normal for the first 3 weeks after surgery once u star rating soft food u will feel better but don't never eat any soft food now otherwise u will have serious complications

Thank you, thank you I'm not alone. I'll keep walking, and the clear liquids. ????
