A member asked:
Hoping you can tell me, is distended abdomen a side effect of hiatal hernia surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: A distended abdomen is common during the early recovery period after hiatal hernia repair. Long term, it should not be a problem, but if it is, see your surgeon. You could try some simethicone which is in over the counter anti-gas formulas.
