Advice:

Watch this 
View More Posts Ignore
I haven't experienced any bloating until last weekend and it's like I'm pregnant or something, starting under my breasts all the way to my incision. Is this normal to have this type bloating so late in the game? Feels like even my underwear is cutting off my circulation.

I wear and estrogen patch and don't have any menopausal symptoms, but I did read on hystersisters out of the blue bloating is normal.

Any suggestions?

" I had bloating and swelling a long time. Up until about 5-6 months. Usually by then though, it was late in the evening.

Are you on your feet alot? Or physically moving alot, that always made me swell. "

My swelling seems to go down in the evening, but when I wake up, it's swelly belly all over again. "

" Should we wear something tight to control our tummies, and keep them from swelling - or is that a bad idea??? "
