The doctor recommended I get an operation but I'm really hesitant about endoscopy surgery. I'm also worried about taking time off work since getting leave is tough. Are there any other options I could consider instead of surgery?

I've been experiencing some unusual bloating in my stomach, especially around and above my belly button. Even a small amount of food makes me feel super full, which is strange because I've never had this problem before. I did have constipation a few months back, but it's not an issue now. I've noticed that my weight has slightly fluctuated toolike I'll gain a little after eating, but then lose it after going to the bathroom. The main thing is, my stomach just feels and looks really bloated. Any ideas on what might be going on?

I've been dealing with this issue for a couple of days now. I saw a doctor who prescribed me Devon and Benalgis, one each daily, but I'm still having the same problem.

Any ideas on what else might be going on or what I should do next?
