My TT was a little over a year ago, 3/31/17. After the swelling went down my tummy was relatively flat as long as I stayed away from certain foods like sugar, gluten, beer and dairy. I eat healthy. However, the past few months I've noticed I'm bloated all the time, no matter what I eat or drink. My PS told me that I have zero belly fat and all he removed was loose skin and tightened the muscles during surgery. I also had a hernia repair. Could it be a fatty liver or the three uterine fibroids I have?
