Question:
I am gaining inches. Has this happened to anybody else?

I am 5 months post op and on a plateau again. I measured myself the other day and I have not lost any inches in over a month. Worse I have gained 2 inches in my waist! I have some pain in the area to the left of my belly button but it is not too bad. Could this be swelling? Is something wrong? I am not doing anything different. It is not a woman thing as I don't have the parts. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrea    — Andrea P. (posted on May 24, 2002)

My guess would be that of the previous posters. Do you have a bulge or a hard spot?
