TVH Swelly belly and pressure

Hi all, I am just now 3 weeks post-op and feeling well. I had a TVH with anterior repair, was released back to work part time of course at 2 weeks. I pretty much sit most of the day but am up and down alot. No lifting or anything. I have been swelling a lot snd feel pressure in tummy area as well as vag area. I feel as if I want a support of dome sort when I'm up and around. Is that normal feeling? I know I'm still healing so trying to take it easy and get off my feet when needed. I have also traded one prolapse for another, unfortunately. Not looking forward to dealing with that now. So much for not having no more bulging. I hope everyone is healing well and taking it easy....
