Re: BLOATING AFTER MYOMECTOMY

[Guest guest]

:

Yes my stomach was almost flat (except for the scar)

after about 2 weeks time. Then for some reason it

changed. I started to bloat again about a week ago.

Not sure what the story is on that one. I am waiting

on a call from my dr.'s office. I will let you know

what I find out.

Sounds very familiar indeed. I was so excited because

I actually lost about 10 pounds after the surgery and

during recovery. Everything fit me better. Now I am

back to square one! I hate it! I put a call into my

Dr's office so I will let you know what I find out.

Hopefully, this is quite normal. I am sure I could

try doing some situps but I never had to do any before

and my stomach was always flat. Not sure that I

could take the pain of situps right now anyway.

Take care,

Kristi
