What Causes Abdominal Distention?
I have been exercising for about 3 months and am losing weight, but it seems like my stomach is getting larger. I had hernia surgery over a year ago I sometime feel a little pull but nothing that keeps me from exercising. This is especially around the top portion of my belly. I want to lose belly fat not gain.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As you underwent hernia surgery, causes of abdominal distension may be indigestion, gas, intestinal obstruction, stomach infection, colitis. if you are able to pass gas, then rush to ER. Otherwise you can take tab. Simethicone.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
