Uterine Fibroid Removal?

I had a large uterine fibroid removed on April 22. The fibroid was large 10.5 cm, so they did it by an incision cut (from my belly button down to the top of my vagina). The first week and 1/2 were painful, but now I'm up, walking around doing pretty normal activities. Went to my post-op visit, and the pathology was normal/benign (orig. they were worried it was cancer because the tumor grew so big so fast). But I'm ok, and the stitches had dissolved. The Dr. performed and internal exam and said everything looked fine and that for the next two to three months it's normal to feel a little "off" down there.
Well other than the scar healing and the skin being a bit bruised and tightened I was feeling fine. Now I constantly feel bloated. I feel like my colon is always filled with pressure and gas. I don't know if this is what she means by "off" and it's normal after major abdominal surgery or if I should call and make another appt?

I had a c-section and also a fibroid that they removed. It's normal to feel like the doctor said "off" for a couple of months. Everything has to settle back to where it was. My doctor recommended that I get checked every 6-12 months to see if it grows back. Wait awhile before you go back unless your in deep pain. YOU JUST HAD SURGERY.
