I had a tubal ligation about four years ago, and over the last month I have had abdominal swelling and it looks as if I am 7 months pregnant but I had a period this month and I do not know what it could be other than could I be pregnant?

I had a tubal less than a year (June-07) ago. The only problem I had during recovery was I went back to work one week later and moved wrong and felt something pop in my stomach area with a little pain. The pain went away so I did'nt think any more about it. I am also having abdominal bloating to the extent I look pregnant. My stomach is now a lot bigger than it has ever been. I weighed 125 lbs when I went in for the surgery. I now weigh 150 at last weigh in. My incision is also hard, like scar tissue and stilll tender to pressure at times.

I went back to the doctor about a month ago. He told me the hardness of the incision will go away within a year. I've also been told that it should've gone away within a week of surgery. And as far as the bloated stomach, he said it's weight gain around the ponch, (stomach area), where a man gains weight. I am not happy with that diagnosis.

Is weight gain a side affect of the surgery? I have done nothing different, as far as diet or not exercising. The weight gain started immediately, and it's hurtting my self confidence. I went from a size 5-7, to a size 9-11. Can anyone help?????

You should really go to the doctor. I also had abdominal swelling and finally an umbilical hernia. During surgery to fix the hernia my doctor found a benign tumor on my ovary that contained more than a gallon of fluid. Abdominal swelling is also a symptom of ovarian cancer. Don't ignore abdominal swelling!
