I've been having some pain just under my ribs for about a month now, and it's mostly on the right side. It gets worse when I stand up after sitting or bending and feels like there's some kind of movement inside my upper abdomen. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I've been feeling a hard lump in my upper stomach and having trouble passing stool, only going a little at a time. My weight has gone up, my stomach feels bloated, and my face looks puffy. What could be causing this? I had surgery to remove my womb two years ago could that be related to these stomach issues?

I had laparoscopic fundoplication surgery two months ago but still have trouble swallowing, gastric issues, and discomfort. How long does recovery usually take for these problems to go away and when can I get back to my normal routine?

It's understandable to be concerned about lingering issues after laparoscopic fundoplication. While complete recovery can take 2-3 months for most, some complications like swallowing difficulties, gastric issues, and discomfort can persist longer for some individuals. You should consult with your doctor to address your specific concerns
