Hi, had open inguinal hernia surgery 7 wks. ago and have a large, distended belly. It looks like I'm 4 mos. pregnant! :( My abs were flat when I went in for surgery. I also have indigestion, (gerd) w/ a lot of belching and gas pains everywhere in ab area. The gas seems stuck, like it doesn't want to release. Also, belly feels very tight, especially after eating...and can't eat very much in one sitting because it hurts. Has anyone else experienced these symptoms this far out post op? It's painful, very uncomfortable and extremely disheartening to have a pregnant-looking belly, especially because it was flat pre-op. Have an appt. w/ surgeon next week but I'm pretty sure he'll say it has nothing to do with surgery, as it seems that's what they all say...any ideas or experiences anyone?

Hi,
Did it ever get better for you? I am having the same exact issues 5 months post tummy tuck and think that it must be the muscles swelling from trauma to the abdominal wall? I am still having excruitiating pain as well. I would like to know how you are feeling now and if you found anything that helped?
