Hello everyone, I have been busy trying to lose weight to help towards any surgery I could have later in the year.  Does anyone know if there is any connection with swollen stomach and prolapse?  Although I am losing weight well, my stomach continues to stay the same, swollen and bloated all the time.  I was hoping it would start to go down with the weight lose but I now think there is a connection?

    Hi Caroline.  I got sober in 2007 and put on 4 stone. I  do believe that for me the weight gain did not help the prolapse.  I have the same, a tummy that makes me look 8mths pregnant. 

    Well done loosing weight. I hope to start my diet soon after I have fully recovered.

    Might be an idea to go and check that with the Dr.  Sometimes my tummy feels rock hard.  I also have stomach ulcers.

    Hi Caroline,it seems on this site that bloated stomach and prolapse go hand in hand,I know that mine is bloated,I have an anterior prolapse,waiting for surgery. I have had surgery for both an anterior and posteria prolapse during the last 3 yearsand had bloating with both.

    Been to see consultant, as people have said it is quite common.  Lets hope it goes down at least a bit after surgery.
