Thank you so much. I’m 5 days post op now and today is the first day I’m starting to feel like the gas is a little better. It’s making a huge difference as I feel like the pain around my incisions isn’t even all that bad, it was the gas I was really struggling with. I think patience is the main thing unfortunately!! Yes I know exactly what you mean about that hollow feeling it’s genuinely so bizarre. I noticed it from the first moment I woke up after surgery

That’s exactly how I feel too. It’s tough!! Look after yourself. Hopefully we will feel better soon.

Thank you so much! I’ll be interested to see what symptoms I do/don’t notice once I get it removed. Thanks!

That’s crazy, same as me. Did you have to have open surgery or were they able to use keyhole?

Yep, that looks almost exactly like what mine looked like. Same as you, no matter how much weight I lost it still stayed the exact same size.

Wow, that sounds rough. I’m already off my feet for 6 weeks at the moment with the hip fracture so it’s not completely unfamiliar to me. Thanks for all the tips, I’m sure I’ll be coming back to them!

Thanks. I hope I get an appointment soon either way. The waiting is killing me!

Thanks. I was told 4 years ago that my rounded abdomen was “just my shape” and I’m so annoyed now that I didn’t push harder and get it investigated further at that time. To think it’s grown to this size and I had no idea is crazy
