Advice

hi there.

at the end of April my stomach blew up to me looking 9 months pregnant. I was in so much pain and feeling sick I went to hospital. Tests were conducted and I was diagnosed with pancreatitis and admitted and placed on fluids. On having a chest X-ray and then a ct scan they found a problem with my bowel and removed part of it via a laporotomy/laporoscopu.

my query is my stomach is still distended at times even now after recovery and after pretty much every meal. Any advice what to do? Should I go back to the doctors?

    If you're worried it may be worth going back to your doctor to have a chat about this as they'll be in the best position to let you know if this is any cause for concern and hopefully put your mind at ease.

    Hopefully some of our members who have been in a similar position will offer their advice soon as well.

    Kind regards,
