Is it possible after surgery..

I would like to share this with my sisters that after surgery is it possible that our intestine dropped all together on the lower abdominal?

I never felt this ****ty for my abdominal size, now it feels bigger that what i had before. when i use cream on my incision it feels all my intestine took place there.
How can i know to make myself understand what happened after surgery, what is happening on those emplty places now since all the organs are gone. I had TAH/BSO.
Please help me

I think your intestines do move in its place, not 100% sure. I too have noticed my stomach is larger. I have never had a big belly... Until I had problems prior to surgery and now after... Its annoying carrying this pouch around.

It is normal for "things" to shift around after surgery. I am NOT a doctor but I suspect you may be having some "swelly belly" issues. This resolves with time and more sisters than not experience it. I am one of the lucky ones who never had it. Sometimes this can last 6 months or longer.

I you are having pain, spotting or issues with bowel or bladder function, this needs to be investigated. Don't be afraid to give your doctor a call with anything that concerns you.

Thank you for your support, I would want to call my doctor but lost my faith with these doctors here (going through horrible bad experience with my previous GP).
Sharing/expressing here more comfortable for me right now, yes i have to see my new GP again.

thanks for listening sisters

I ran this question by my surgeon prior to surgery because of what I read on another site. He said that of all the things his patients have told him about what they've read on the internet, this was the most crazy (not his word). He explained that the intestines have their own ligaments holding them up, and not dependent on something else, like the uterus, to hold them up.
That being said, I still believe that of course there must be some changes in your body when you remove a part of it.
But if you're thinking you might have a distended belly because your intestines have fallen, it seems that would not be the norm. Maybe find another doctor you feel you can trust, and get it checked out. Or maybe it is a case of swelly belly.

Thanks for the support, next time i see doctor will ask about it.
