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?

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.

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

no tube left in, just sleeved.

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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
