Hi
I had a mastectomy 6 weeks ago and for the last 2 weeks I have been having an ever increasing bloating, sometimes to the point I feel my stomach will pop. I’ve asked my GP and she gave me omeprazole which I’ve been taking every day now for about 8 days - I have been advised I will need to take them for months. She says it’s just due to having major surgery and the chemicals etc your body has to deal with. But the bloating is feeling worse not better. I am eating healthily, trying to exercise, (although that’s difficult as I feel so heavy and in pain with my joints). I’m doing my arm exercises as advised by the breast team but in honesty I think I felt better 2 weeks post op!
Any advice?
Thank you
Jacqui
