Does anyone else have post-appendectomy swelling, tenderness, & weight gain?
My appendix ruptured almost a year ago and the year before that I had an intestinal blockage (the doctor thinks they are un-related!). Though I’m told everything is fine I am still quite swollen and I’ve gained about 30 pounds. Very little "fat to pinch" on abdomen – just a hard, swollen feeling. Colonoscopy 1 month post-op was normal. I recently started experiencing tenderness on the left side. My doctor suspected diverticulitis but blood tests revealed normal white count (no infection), elevated BUN ratio, and slight anemia. I’m awaiting a CT scan (new insurance pending) to rule out ovarian cysts. Bottom line is that my body is just not the same as I’ve lost my almost-flat tummy and what was a sculptured waistline. And of course – I’m concerned with the recent discomfort. I recently read about "twisted colon". I’m grasping for any possible explanation… anyone experience similar scenario?
lack of exercise and wrong food is responsible for the change in waistline, swelling and tenderness can be due to something different than appendicectomy.

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
I think you guys are unfair… I have had the same op this year 2010 April and it have left me with a larger tummy then I had, I was just a mare 8 stone now I am 8 stone 12. So until this has happened to you then you can judge others I think its mean of you all. Do you know how depressed I am that I can not even fit into my size 8 dresses because my tummy is so big ha ha ha you all say I can just hear you say “she eating a lot” well no am not.
