Bloated stomach after diep surgery

Hi

i had my mastectomy and diep flap reconstruction 8 weeks 1 day ago and feel not too bad but my stomach is still quite bloated.  Does anyone else get this? 

Im starting my chemo on Thursday this week and am really anxious about it so am trying not to think about it

  • Hi Lou,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear that your stomach is still quite bloated following your reconstruction. Have you discussed this with your care team and what did they say about this? If you haven't seen about this recently, why not phone your breast care nurse to see if this should still be happening? Do this tomorrow, as you don't want anything to delay your chemo starting.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you. I hope that your chemo goes well.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
