Re: Bloated lower abdomen even after lap...

I have the same exact problems that you two have.In 11/03,I had a lap
and endo and adhesions were removed from deep in the pelvis.Before the
lap,I was bloated and in alot of pain,especially right before my
period.Afterwards,I was bloated from the gas,but then it went away.I
actually started losing weight(I'm overweight)in my stomach and hips!But
then,shortly after,I started gaining again.My lower abdomen got bigger
and I also have a pouch sticking out from my right side,which is where I
usually had problems.A few years ago,I had an ovarian cyst on the right
side.The first and last time I had a normal period since the lap was in
2/04.Well,last Friday,I started having severe pain in my lower back and
thought maybe I had pulled something.It eventually traveled to my right
hip and side.On Sunday I kept getting sick and throwing up,but then that
evening,I got my period.I was glad,thinking that would give me some
relief,but it didn't last.Since then,I've only been lightly spotting but
still having severe pain and bloat.I'm thinking of calling my doctor and
asking for an ultrasound.Has anyone else ever had this??Thank you for
listening and I hope you start feeling better,it's terrible,isn't it?
