Im 9days po from a BA and seem to have gained weight post op despite consuming significantly less food. My activity level has not changed as I was not very active before surgery. Is this a common occurence or is it just bloating/water/gas as my body gets back to normal? Im on a lot of medications from my PS and thought maybe that is the cause although none seem linked to weight gain besides Singulair. Is singulair commonly prescribed and has it caused weight gain? Should I discontinue using it
Been feeling bloated in my stomach since surgery. I'm 3 days post op. Still pretty swollen up top like normal. Actually wouldn't feel that bad if I didn't have this bloated feeling. Is there something that will help? I already have been using laxitives.
I am 8 days post op, and feel as though I have gained A LOT of weight. My lower abdomen is really tight and hard, and I have lower back pain also. My clothes feel really tight across my thighs as well. I obviously haven't been active compared to what I'm used to, but have been eating relatively the same diet. Surely I can't have put on so much weight in a week?!?
I don't eat the healthiest meal but I've always been well shaped with a very flat stomach, except for a very short period of time right after a meal. It then almost instantly goes back flat to normal. After BA postop, my stomach has bloated quote a bit. It's been 9 days and my bowel movements have been normal since the 5th day, but my stomach is significantly much larger with the bloated stomach shape in tact. Even right above my public region and right under the crease of my stomach, it's out
I am on day 3 post off and my swelling in my abdominal area is quite uncomfortable. I look around 6 months pregnant and typically I have a lean, flat stomach. I weight around 112 lbs and I am 5'8. I am not taking any of the pain meds and never have, just Tylenol extra strength, Valium twice a day, and the antibiotic. How long will this bloat last? I don't like it!
Hi, I just got my BA 10/19/16, almost a week ago. Normally I am pretty slender, but after my BA and still to this day, I look really bloated. Going to the toilet ain't a problem, I just look bloated. Is this normal? Is it because of water retention due to the painkillers I am taking 2-4 times a day? Haven't heard much about this problem before I experienced it myself.... Thanks :-)
I am very fit and athletic. I went into surgery weighing 119 lbs with very defined abs. I am 6 weeks post op from breast augmentation and my lower abdomen still looks bloated and feels swollen. Is this normal 6 weeks out and what is the normal range for abdominal swelling? I started going to the gym last week, week 5 but am only doing low impact cardio (elliptical) and lower body exercises such as squats.I love my augmentation results but the bloated feeling / look is driving me crazy.
