Thanks, @amandajro, but agree with @almostoutofthewoods… this isn’t gastrointestinal bloating which this article addresses. This feels different… like an unusual fluid retention in the belly region. I have read some cases where bilateral mastectomy gets the lymphatic system out of balance. So, for now, I’m sticking with my detox tea, exercise and yoga to try to get my body back in balance.

@kk57 See if you can get a referral to a physical therapist who addresses lymphatic massage.
