Patient's question:
More than a year after the surgery for ulcerative gastric cancer, I have completed three cycles of chemotherapy. Now, my stomach is so bloated!!!;;Doctor's answer:
After gastric cancer surgery, bloating one year post-operation: In the early stage after surgery, if you feel dizzy, hear your heartbeat, sweat coldly, or have pale complexion after defecation, you should immediately lie down and rest for 15-20 minutes. The amount of defecation may increase, and you should eat less sweet foods.Patients who have undergone total gastrectomy may experience weight gain within 2-3 months after surgery. Subsequently, their weight may gradually decrease within 6-12 months. After one year, their weight should stabilize. If there is a persistent increase in weight, it should be cautious of tumor recurrence.
