Question:
My abdomen is swollen and so bloated I can't tell if I am full?

I am 6 days post op from RNY gastric Bypass and Hiatal hernia repair. I have a constant achy, full, bloated feeling above my navel in the mid abdominal area that Is more noticeable when I stand up. I can't tell if my stomach pouch is full or not so I have not wanted to drink but I also feel dehydrated so I still try to drink but that feeling gets worse like I am going to bust. Has anyone else felt this?    — r4life (posted on March 7, 2012)

I did not, but strongly suggest that you call your physician ASAP. Good luck.

get in to see your surgeon asap. dehydration is very dangerous for us. also he will be able to determine if this is gas or something more serious. don't delay.
