« on: March 02, 2013, 09:17:38 am »


My niece's stomach is popping out and looks as if she's
pregnant. We think he has a stomach hernia.

Nevermind.



I went to look it up, and hernia doesn't make someone
look like they are pregnant.

Also found out that the doctor did find anything. O.o

My mom and I just had a hernia removal mine was simple and hers kept her in the hospital for a week.  Come to find out it was bigger than the expected and it was leaking poison into her system, they cut once and it was taking too long so they hard to stop due to her heart and blood pressure.  They went in again and we able to complete the task, with minor complications.  But today she is doing great, this was completed in November 2012.  Hernias can swell a person stomach and it will feel like a knot and look like a hard ball.

That is wierd that they havent found anything wrong. Maybe should go to different doctor for second opinion.

Yeah it's weird because I was big as if she was pregnant.
I don't think it's hernia because it's not just a lump or a ball
but its her whole stomach..

O.o

But her doctor really did say there was nothing.
On top of that she gets horrible stomach pains.. O.o

But her stomach also shrunk again after a night.. O.o

Sounds more like Gerd. Severe episodes of Gerd can cause the stomach to swell as if you had been blown up like a ballon. The pain is probably Gas Pressure and bloating and once you get relief from the symptoms it makes the belly deflate back to normal usually caused by acid reflux and also the spincter valve may not be opening and closing like it should. Maybe you should take her to see an internal medicine DR.
