being 4 weeks post op I started to feel like things was getting better , how wrong was i. , started to feel sick again , tummy swelled up , constipation started again , been to the doctors today I have a collection of dry blood in my abdomen, he says it should be consumed by my body within the next few weeks if the lump I can feel is still there then I could require another op , so ladies even if you feel fine do not over do things take recovery time serious,take time to recover

    Oh dear Paula that sounds horrendous. 

    I have been doing far too much but I am going to slow down. 

    I really hope you don't need another operation. 

    Keep in touch
