Hi All,

Had my procedure on 21/6, my weight had been fine, then I lost weight during the first 3 weeks as I wasn't really eating much due to feel nauseous. Fast fwd 12 weeks and I'm swollen all the time, ankles, waist, abdomen area. I've gained weight, yet I'm doing the same things pre op!! I'm feeling very down, hating my body!  Of course I'm still grateful to have had my cancer removed but why am I feeling like this and what is going on with my body!?!? Just wondering if anyone else feels like this? 

  • Hi  

    I'm sorry to read how you're feeling at the moment and it's natural to want to connect with others who have had the same issues.

    I'm not a member of this forum but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
