Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of abdominal bloating swelling of the fingers and leg following a previous surgery for indigestion I am suggesting that you developed a protein loosing enteropathy manifesting a hypoproteinemic state (low blood protein)
I don't believe this is hormonal so please do the following test serum protein abdominal scan to enhance the diagnosis
Hence please see your physician with the result as well as nutritional specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate dietary prescription
