No worries on that stomach. They inflate you with air or gas(?) to be able to work in there! It will go down. As it does you may feel shoulder pain. Weird, but that’s where it goes sometimes! Glad to hear you are on the other side.

Post surgery hospital pain was of course my whole abdomen, my feet with neuropathy pain from high and irregular blood sugars, and neck/shoulder pain from aggravating my C5/C6 stenosis. I had been putting off the surgery on the stenosis and had 2 problems with Blood clots in my left leg. As I am now forever on warfarin I can no longer have the neck surgery.

When I eat my tiny little bits or sips, I seems to really hurt my abdomen. And I swell up like a twisted ancle. I think I have a very slow-moving blockage. And it is moving even slower than I am eating. Still waiting for my bowels to move. Or that is what it feels like.

I really hope my swollen abdomen will resolve soon.
