Swelling above incision

After my c-section 13 years ago, I never got rid of this swelling or should I call it a pooch right above my incision. I'm a thin person so it's obvious. Since my TAH BSO two weeks ago, its worse!!! Is this normal? I need call my doctor tomorrow with a few other questions but wanted to ask all of you too.

I am 4 months post op and my pooch is still larger than I would like it to be. I think it simply takes time for the swelling to go down and things to start getting smaller again. At least I hope so!

Re: Swelling above incision

Sorry but I think it is normal. It can take awhile for the swelling to go down. I too had swelling after my c-section, but this time is worse. A lot worse. I figure it will be months before the swelling goes away.
