Are Weight Gain And Stomach Bloating Normal After Treating Colon Cancer?

I had colon cancer surgery 1 year ago. About 8 inches were removed. No lymph node infected. No further treatment required other than blood test every 6 months My question is about stomach size and weight gain. I have gained 20 pounds and my stomach appears swollen. My doctor saysnothing wrong. My question. Is weight gain normal and is it possible my stomach is swollen?
