7 months post-op and still have Swelly Belly??

Hi ladies. Maybe you can help me. I had an abdominal hyst on 04Jan2010 and I think I am having issues with Swelly Belly still. When I wake in the morning my stomach is flat but by 9pm its swollen to 8 months pregnant and hard to touch above the belly button and sore on both sides of the incision next to the hip bones.
I play a lot of ball in the summer and have been wearing tummy tucker shorts under my team shorts to try to keep things in place and try to prevent discomfort then next day.
Any advice??? Is it swelly Belly coming to haunt me??
Thanks
Amanda

Oh, and my surgery was perfect up and out of bed in days and back to work at 4 weeks. No complications except for a UTI.
Thanks

Hi! I had my abdominal hysterectomy May 4, 2010 and I too am having swelly belly right under my belly button, flat as a pancake in the morning as soon as I get up there it is! No pain, just a big belly. I also keep gaining weight and it is frustrating me so much! i even tried a well know weightloss system and I actually gained weight! any advice from anyone wouldhelp!

I had the swell belly for 5 months. It will be worse on days where you do more & you sound like you are pretty active. Take it a bit easier & see if it goes down. If it does you know you are just going to get the inflammation if you are active. It does go away one day.
