Swelling 8 months out after Tummy Tuck

Hey guys!

I had a tummy tuck in October 2011. Everything was great.. I looked great.. I've noticed since january after I started going to the gym again I would get really swollen in my stoamch.. I brushed it off thinking its normal swelling.. For the past 4 months I have been really sore and swelling in my stomach. If i just touch my stomach it hurts a lot. For the past 2 months my family has been askign me why I have gained so much weight, my stomach is THAT swollen. I sometimes look like i have gained 50 pounds just in my stomach it gets so big. When I came home from work last night I looked like I had gained 50 pounds in my stomach. It looked so big. I also have noticed I get tingly chills in my upper legs.. I'm going to see my surgeon next week but I'm really scared I have lymphedema :( Can anyone relate???

Have you had a exam by your GYN recently, ovarian cyst can cause some of the symptoms you explained.  Good luck.
