Hi Tina,
i get swelling sometimes, but not often. When i do, i feel like im gonna
explode!
im wondering if maybe you should try stool softners? Since u just had
recent surgery your intestines may still be "asleep" or not functioning
properly due to the pain meds(Assuming you are taking them?)
I cant believe your doc thinks it in your head!! Cant he see your Tummy???
Yes, go look for another Dr to get a 2nd opinion!

Hi Elaine and Others Who've Struggled with Swelling Belly
I had a total abdominal hysterectomy 5.5 wks ago today. I had fibroid
tumors, a very large uterus and ovaries, both covered with endometriosis
adhesions. My periods were ~18 days long and I was severely exhausted.
I never had a swollen belly until after my hysterectomy.
I just don't know who to turn to about this problem. Do you have any
suggestions? My gyn who did the surgery is useless. Should I pursue a
G.I. doctor?
