When does your swollen belly go down after having a hysterectomy?

Few months: It depends on the surgical approach, but it is not uncommon for women to experience "swelly belly" for a few months after hyst. A support girdle type undergarment may help with discomfort.

Had hysterectomy and hernia surgery in 2012 now I have a lump in the middle of my stomach above my belly button. U can see and feel it when I lay down. Not sure if this is normal. No pain but sometimes it's uncomfortable.
I am having intense sharp pain in my lower right abdomen. It is worse when I am in a sitting position. Excruciating with a bowel movement. I have had a full hysterectomy. If I pull my knees up to my chest or lay down, the pain's less. No fever/nausea?
