I'm also very swollen. I had 3 hernias repaired (2 with mesh) a little over 3 months ago. Ever since, I've gained 15 pounds all in my stomach and look like I'm 7 months pregnant. Faithful dieting and exercising will not budge it. I read another post from someone who said that wearing a support belt helped with bloating. I just put one on and will try to see if I can wear it at work and to the gym. It actually feels good to have on, it is holding me in and feels comforting. Hopefully it will be therapeutic and eventually get rid of my new beach ball gut!

I have had 3 major operations of this nature 1 x emergency for my bowel wall leaking into my cavity 2005, which was a life saving op. I was left with a colon bag for 2 years. 2 nd operation 2007 was a reversal operation which went well. following that operation I developed 2 hernias started 2 months after the second op through overdoing things. over the years they grew so big and painfull. I visited A&E 3 times over the years but refused to operate because they said they was not life threatening. Following attending the A&E on the 8/4/15 the specialist said I needed life saving operation due to condition. 6 hrs operation took place on the 9/4/15. My stomach is swollen as all the operations have been. I have found through the 2 first ops that the swelling do go down over time, you will never be the same as before the operation, but looking at the wide picture, one must be grateful. as long as you able to live a normal life be proud of the fact that you have been through a challenge that life has thrown in your way, and come out the other side.

On August 6th, 2015 I had bi-lateral inguinal hernia surgery. Today is Aug 8th. I am currently using mild to moderate compression garments over the incision sites. This is controlling pain, lessening inflammation and increasing healthful/healing fluid re-circulation. (This I am doing with my doctor's OK,.though my actions are not his prescribed protocol). I am using discomfort /pain level to guide compression usage parameters. Presently, my abdominal binder is pressing around a seemingly "new" protrusion near my belly button. The binder is NOT permitting permitting expansion of this seemingly new development.
I used this same compression technique for a belly button hernia repair two years ago. Perfect recovery resulted then. Quite interesting I should be counteracting a new potential bulge just around the belly button. ( This is where the highest access incision wound is located, (one of three) from my surgery). It would seem my idea here might spare others problems described precedingly.

I am 3 months post mesh surgery and still somewhat swollen. I am a fitness nut and have gone against much of the Drs suggestions. I lift heavy, feel great right down to the cardio. I am swollen, but no pain and strong as I ever was. How long before all the swelling is gone?
