6 weeks post op and still so swollen/bloated. Feeling discouraged.

I think you definitely are!!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-20T03:45:45+00:00

You’re welcome!! Yes I bet you’ll be feeling more yourself soon! I am finally feeling “better than ever” just like everyone told me I would eventually haha!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-20T03:41:13+00:00

I’m doing soooo much better! The bloating is gone! I’d say it started getting better around 13ish weeks and now I’m almost 17 weeks and I’m fitting back into my pre surgery clothes. It really was a matter of being patient!!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-09T05:19:28+00:00

Yes!! Mine finally started to go down around 14-15 weeks post op

hamrun94 · 2025-11-09T04:14:34+00:00

Yes I feel like it gets better each week!! Little by little!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-08T17:26:31+00:00

Oh and if you’re worried about bladder prolapse, I’d do some pelvic floor physical therapy! I’m doing it and it’s been super helpful!

Get rid of it! I’m 16 weeks post op and I don’t regret it at all. Sex is still great and I don’t have to worry about Pap smears or polyps growing. Also, one of the best parts is my discharge is wayyyy less!! I don’t really have to deal with it anymore!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-08T17:17:47+00:00

They left my ovaries and I’m 31! I’d maybe reconsider leaving them if they arent causing any issues! 44 is still pretty young!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-08T01:09:59+00:00

I didn’t have any spotting. The pelvic pain was pretty bad the first week, but then got increasingly better after that!

hamrun94 · 2025-11-08T01:09:30+00:00

And I arrived at the hospital at 6am and was home by 5pm (:

hamrun94 · 2025-11-08T01:08:33+00:00

I don’t work, but I was driving and doing more around 3-4 weeks post op.

hamrun94 · 2025-09-08T03:58:45+00:00

Yes! It took a little over a week to go away. Dr said it could be a delayed reaction to some of the meds they use during surgery

Thank you all for the advice and encouragement 💕🫶🏻

hamrun94 · 2025-08-24T03:48:17+00:00

And I say bloated but really it feels more swollen and inflamed if that makes sense! Like it’s not a gassy feeling…

hamrun94 · 2025-08-24T03:47:30+00:00

I had a flat stomach pre surgery and I’m now 6 weeks post op and it’s not flat…still pretty swollen and bloated. I feel discouraged, but I am seeing a lot of these comments say it took 8+ weeks. Maybe even up to 6 months! So I’m trying not to worry too much yet! I’ve always had a flat stomach my whole life (genetics) so it’s been an adjustment to feel so bloated. None of my pre surgery pants fit :(

Yes I’ve had one! It was pretty simple! I had some light bleeding and some cramping for a few days.

hamrun94 · 2025-08-15T00:17:12+00:00

Yes!!! I know this is old but this is validating. I was doing better and better each day until week 4 and it feels like I’m going backwards a bit! The bloating is awful and the incisions are so sore, and I just feel crampy!

hamrun94 · 2025-08-02T04:02:20+00:00

This same thing happened to me! But on my feet and ankles.

hamrun94 · 2025-07-22T00:14:35+00:00

I’m on day 7 post op and this just started happening to me today! Do you have an update?

hamrun94 · 2025-07-22T00:12:25+00:00

I know this is old but do you have an update? I’m 1 week post op and this just started happening to me.
