What Leads To Weight Gain And Bloating Of Stomach While Being Diagnosed With Fibroid?

I have a fibroid 5-6 cm around. It took two years of testing before the right one was done to find it. I m just getting an appt now with a doctor about removal. I have tried telling my family doctor on numerous occasions about what gain ( and I don t eat that much) and its hard to eat because I feel bloated or full or even sick. And I feel like I have a basketball in my stomach. And I have gained about 40 PDS over two years. I get terrible cramping and it goes on. Do these things occur with a fibroid?
