Question:
Swollen belly, but bowels are moving

I am 2.5 years post-op; very successful medial RNY. I've had a bloated and swollen belly for a week now. This is usually gas for me and it goes away overnight, but not this time. I am having regular BM's and passing gas, but the belly is more swollen than ever. There is no unusual pain and no hardness anywhere. My diet is the same as it's always been, but I am eating more than usual due to breastfeeding my 2 month old baby. Any insights on what this may be?    — toolio (posted on October 12, 2005)

You might want to take this over to the Grad list. Someone may have already dealt with something like this and have some ideas for ways to describe these to your doc. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Graduate-OSSG

If I were you, I would go see your doctor!
