Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see the doctor who performed the surgery. One possibility is weight gain. Wish you good health!

Seroma: I would be concerned that you developed a seroma a fluid collection beneath the flap but above abdominal wall that would cause swelling. If so should be drained
