Thank you for you help..maybe I am the only one that has experienced this after this surgery everyone and theirs bodies are different which I fully understand,or maybe someone has had something similar and can advise too 

Hi, my surgery was in July and I still find that my tummy is often tight and hard. I’m still under the physio and she has been using ‘cupping’ on it which I have found very helpful. It might be worth trying. I’ve also found regular walking everyday helps - it’s worse when I’m sitting around a lot. Good luck, I hope it eases soon for you x

I wasn’t told about physio but maybe everyone is different I was given a leaflet ref the exercises which are good ..yes my tummy is often hard and tight I have found if I do too much it tightens quickly too plus if am eating too much lol which is probably a good sign..I tried a lymphatic drainage massage while I enjoyed this I found headaches were not pleasant afterwards..I am due back into work next week maybe this will help too ..thank you for your comments and good luck with your recovery
