Re: Feeling like spongebob
Same boat here..dont know what to tell you, I am having a slow recovery and yet I have to be back at work May 5th. Not sure what I am going to do, I still have 2 incisions that wont close- one reopened again, the one right over my pubic bone...I am fed up with all this..constanly bloated and tried sucking in my belly when I lie flat in bed but it doesnt seem to do anything.
One good thing I noticed is I no longer feel any pain when sneezing or coughing..

Sorry to hear! That's crazy about your incisions. Can you take anything to speed up the process? I have also noticed not to much discomfort with sneezing and coughing as well.
I can't wait for this bloated look to go away. This recovery process is definitely for the birds!

Re: Feeling like spongebob
I know that Swelly Belly can be frustrating. It is your body's way of protecting itself from of all the trauma it has been through (like your ankle swells when it is sprained). Because we all heal at different rates, it is hard to predict how long it will stay around. You can't diet it away or exercise it away - it has to go away on its own . . . and it will.
Remember we are here for you.
