When Can I Expect A Reduction In The Size Of My Waist After Having Abdominal Surgery For Fibroids?
Thanks for your query.
Any abdominal surgery will cause undue stress on the body and may cause a disturbance in metabolism.This often results in weight gain after any surgery.
5 months is enough time for healing to occur.There should not have been any post op complication that may result in abdominal distension after 5 months of surgery.
First i think that you need to follow up with your surgeon once.Just to rule out abdominal distension,gaseous distension and any fluid collection.This can be done by examination and ultrasound.
If you are normal internally,then you will have to work out a plan for weight reduction/toning etc.It would be better that you consult a trainer for that.Any recurrence of fibroids also needs to be ruled out.
If you have follow up questions,most welcome.
Regards,
How soon would you estimate a recurrence of fibroids?
After any major operation i suggest that you wait at least 6-9 months before you try to concieve.
Pregnancy will cause stress on your body and its important that your body has adquate strength to bear that.
Fibroids can recur after a few months but usually takes time to grow.
Wishing you good health.
