Question:
Does anyone's stomach ever get rock hard? When I stand up my stomach is rock hard.

I am 10 wks post-op and have BM every other day. Is this normal and if so when does it finally soften up?    — Tammy D. (posted on April 12, 2002)

Tammy, Check with your doctor to see if you have a hernia. I have an umbilical hernia and when I stretch or contract the muscles, the area is very hard.

Sounds like my stomach back then and it was totally all GAS and lots of it. Also, my surgeon said theres alot of air inside from the surgery and said it would be atleast 3 months after surgery before it went away.
