I had a umbilical hernia surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. and my stomach is bigger than before my surgery. is it normal to have swelling?

Yes: Anytime you have a surgery there is an inflammatory reaction and some swelling as the body heals itself. However, if the swelling seems excessive to you or if you have fever or pain, then see your doctor for an evaluation.
