You will need to ask your surgeon to re-examine you for signs of a recurrent hernia. However, there are many different causes of abdominal bloating and pain besides hernias.

swelling after hernia surgery
Did your abdominal swelling ever go away? I had umbilical hernia surgery 4 weeks ago. I used to have a flat stomach but not i look pregnant. Please tell me it will go away.
