Can You Get Nerve Damage in Your Stomach from Lipo Dissolve

I had lipo dissolve from December 2006 to May 2007. In August of 2007 I started experiencing stomach distention. This distention is constant, but worse at times. I have had CT scans, endoscopys, a colonoscopy, a breath test, and a ton of blood work, which all came back negative (besides acid reflux).
Could this distention be caused by nerve damage caused by the Lipo Dissolve injections? If not, do you have any idea what can be causing it. I am only 32 and cannot live the rest of my life with this. I need an answer!
