In January I had a TAH/BSO and my gallbladder removed. This was seven months ago, but my stomach is still bloated and I have pain most of the time. If I do too much or eat (just about anything) it seems to get even more swollen. I have talked to my GYN's nurse twice -- the last time I hung up on her because she insists that I needed to go see my primary care doctor. In her words, "your problems have nothing to do with your surgery", although I keep saying I never had these problems until I had surgery. I did go to my PCP and he ordered a pelvic ultrasound and a colonoscopy, both of which came back fine. I don't know what to do now -- go back to my PCP or to my GYN. I just know that I don't want to live this way. My stomach is so large and I go from constipation to diarrhea.
