Pregnant!

[pat2604]

My hernia op last week had made me look 7 months pregnant. Apart from a huge pin, how can it get rid of all this air!! I don't have the ability to walk or exercise!! They say it will be absorbed back into the body, but at this rate it's going to ages!!

[pat2604]

I look like a bouncy castle!!

Make the most of it, Pat. Hire yourself out to the neighbourhood kids and earn a few bob while you're still full of air:-)

[pat2604]

Lol. Ken!! The dog and cats seem to think I'm a blow up mattress!!

This is a bold OP, lottie! You have left yourself open to some smart answers ;)

I shall just wish you well and hope things subside naturally and quickly. If the operation has worked I would settle for that. Take care and keep away from hedgehogs for the time being.

Just don't venture outdoors if it's windy, you may end up in a neighbouring town:-)

Your lucky, I got an infection and ended up with a bollock the size of a lemon when I had mine!

[pat2604]

Ymfb, at least I haven't got any bullocks to worry about ! ;0)

[douglas9401]

I'll say 'congratulations', just in case.

[Patsy33]

I hope the wind is absorbed soon, Pat :-))
Other than that, hope all is reasonably well with you x

In far from the madding crowd ( 1967 ) Gabriel Oake cures a flock of sheep with "bloat" by er stabbing them with a "bloat knife"

a few of them die - no not really, they get them to lie down with a shed load of sedatives

thought i heard some distant tuba-like noises . . .

Don't let it come out too quickly or you'll go flying round the room. :-) xx

You are my ideal blow up doll.-;)

It varies but may take up to a year to resolve completely.

What's that song the kids like from the film 'Frozen'?

"Let it go"

I am not saying that one of these will make you look slimmer but an after operation hernia belt might help. It will give you support .Apologies if you already have one.

[pat2604]

Thanks for all your answers that has hept me amused. Andres I'm avoidin a belt because I still have stitches and don't want to aggravate the scar. I don't think t!!e make one that will fit round the Michelin man I have become.

[Peter Pedant]

so long as the dog or cat doesnt think you are a balloon

[andres]

An alternative to a belt is not an attractive sight but lie on the bed and raise your legs in the air. That should help to release the wind. Or crouch 'doggy-style' on hands and knees. The air will turn blue.

[pat2604]

Sqaddy, I know they pump air into the abdominal cavity for ease of access and viewing bt how does it get absorbed?

[choux]

andres, I think that the knees won't kneel any more, bless her, and the good lady is feeling somewhat tyred at the moment.
Bibendum ;)
