I had my surgery on June 27th and up until now everything was going well.

Now I am having these sharp pains in my midsection like I have been wearing pants two sizes too small. I even have a line across my belly where I never had one before. I mean a deep indentation as if my belly had been constricted with a belt for days.

Is this normal. I too notice I am completely swollen. I eat regular foods like berries and farina. Could this be the problem? I called the Doc and all he said was he'd see me in three weeks, five in total from the surgery.

Thanks for letting me join your group. I know I will be posting a lot.

Thanks Marylyn

My stomach did the same and so did my friends. It did get better after about 5 or 6 weeks. Good luck.

i get the same thing...unfortunately, it's probably gas pains!

The pain cleared up. I still get gas pains however. Thanks so much.
