roll of fat above incision after myomectomy

[Guest guest]

3 weeks ago, I had a myomectomy to remove 10 fibroids (largest was

16cm). I recovered pretty quickly, was back to work after 2 weeks,

and the incision is healing very well.

When I lay on my back my stomach is relatively flat now that the

obvious swelling has gone down, but my question is this - when I

stand up I have this big 'Roll' above my incision, like a roll of

fat. I'm pretty small framed thin girl - I weigh 104 pounds - I did

not have this big roll before the surgery. Some have said this is

just more swelling, but most others have said this is just what

happens after you have a horizontal c-section like incision, and that

this roll of fat that appeared out of no where will stay for several

months if not forever because of the stomach muscles having been cut.

Can anyone who has had a myomectomy offer me any insight? I'm

getting married in 5 weeks,and am wondering if I have any chance of

fitting into the dress. I'm nerve wrecked because I'm not ready to

start doing situps yet, and I feel disgusting with this beer gut

thing sticking out of my otherwise small body...

Help!!
