I had the balloon body swelling after being pumped with fluids too, my health went down hill fast after the operation, I wasnt absorbing my nutrients. A friend of a friend mentioned he went through the same ordeal after an operation and his doctor recommended electrolytes, the electrolytes healed him. Once I started on electrolytes I noticed I was getting more energy from my food and certain weird health symptoms were better-including my hair falling out. HTH
I use ChemBalance electrolytes made from the original company.
