swelly belly 7 weeks post op davinci assisted vaginal hyster

Hi Ladies,
I was wondering... those of you who had davinci surgery... did you still have swelly belly at this point? I seem to be fine in the morning... then by mid day and evening my tummy is SO swollen! I have four incisions on my tummy (they are mostly just scars now I think), but I did have everything removed through the vagina. Is it normal to still be so swollen in the belly area at the end of the day??

I still get a bit of a swelly belly. It seems to be worse if I wear a belt.

That is what happens to me too! Jeans are tight at the end of the day. I am still achy if I do alot of bending or activity too and I think that causes swelling .

I had regular laparascopic removal of everything eight weeks ago and I just signed on to see if anyone else was having this problem. I am so swollen that it's actually physically uncomfortable. When does this go away?

Re: swelly belly 7 weeks post op davinci assisted vaginal hyster

I wish I knew when it goes away. I am usually so swollen in my tummy by the end if the day that my pants are too tight. I am seeing my primary doc on Thursday so I can ask then. When I brought it up with my surgeon last week at my post op appt, he said that my pelvic floor must be swollen still. Not quite sure what he means....

Re: swelly belly 7 weeks post op davinci assisted vaginal hyster

It's been 4 months since my surgery & I still have a swelly belly too I even jumped to one size more.I feel awful about it & also still hurts like crampy when I bend down or stand up for a long time. I thought that abdominal hysterectomies were the only ones that cause swelly belly.I wonder why the vaginal Hysterectomies cause inflamation too?

I'm 4 months post op and still have swelly belly! I swear I feel like it will never go away. I think I forgot what it looked like before surgery.
