Hello I had a gastric stimulator removed last Monday, and needed a bit of advice. The area where the main device was is very swollen and has a hard lump there, It is painful, and I am so bloated I look 9 months pregnant. If I eat the smallest amonut of food the uncomfortable feeling is worse, and the pain in that area is worse. Is this normal or should I call the surgeon. What could this be and what do you think will help. Thank You Elaine
