Bloating after surgery

I have my stricturplasty surgery just over a month ago, everytime i go no.1 on the toilet i get really bloated and then afterwards i have to hunch over because i am in pain. i feel like i have a big balloon in my tummy and it hurts. can anyone suggest what this is?

I think you need to notify the surgeon and be seen for a follow up. Did you have a post-op visit yet? I don't know if its a complication or new disease activity but it sounds like something is wrong.
 
I have been for my post op visit but it wasn't as bad so I didn't mention it. I think I'll keep an eye on it until I see the surgeon again in a few weeks :)
