Another swelly belly question?

Where was your swelly belly? Mine seems to be the roll above my belly button, making my muffin top even bigger, especially after I eat. My lower abdomen (under belly button) doesn't seem to swell at all. After my hyst, I was swollen over the lower abdomen, but since this hernia and muscle repair, it's all moved up. Could it be that when the repair was done, my organs were pushed higher up in the abdomen and I'm just feeling it there? I almost hate to eat anything!

I'm not sure on the swelly belly. I've been very fortunate that I've only dealt with it a handful of times.

I have had 4 hernias (total) repaired with 3 during the hyster, and I never had an issue with my organs being (or appearing) to be pushed up. Is there a chance of another hernia? My hernias were all in different places in my abdomen, so I don't know if that's any difference. Is it painful? Discolored?

I had an incisional hernia repair with muscle re attachment (lower ab muscles were completely detached). The hernia was the size of a small melon. Once the doctor "tucked" the small intestine back into the abdomen, they stitched an 8x10 mesh over the problem areas, reattached the muscles then closed me up tightly. He also removed about 2-3 inches of old scar tissue. The small intestine was outside of the ab cavity. I was just wondering if when they put everything back in, could the organs have been repositioned higher in the abdomen which is why I get the swelly belly up higher? Upper ab actually sticks out further than my boobs, especially after I eat or do to much. The swelling is around my entire mid section above the navel.

My swelly belly is above my belly button and above the incision. The nurse said there was a lot of "tying" in that area. Not sure what that means. Hugs!

My swelly belly is low, between my hips, around my belly button. It looks like I'm pregnant. When it's really bad, it swells up to my bra band. It hurts too.

Mine is both above and below the belly button. I lost a bunch of weight just before surgery and now I am ballooned right out and back into my bigger jeans, which are still too tight after a busy day. It is quite depressing

Mine was above the belly button but seems to have disappeared after the second week.
