What Causes Abdominal Distention And Nausea After Weight Loss?

I have lost 25 lbs but my stomach has been getting bigger and bigger, for the last few nights, I wake up to the feeling of needing to vomit. my brother thought this could be a gall bladder problem as it runs in the family. it is not constipation, and it is not just fat. it s getting huge. it is not sore, but rather just numb.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

It could be due to gastritis.

As a first line management you can try antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
