Asked By:Adventurous5183 in Sanger, California

Had tt 6 mos. ago. My before stomach was mostly flat, but with excess skin and muscle weakness. Now my lower stomach bulges. Right lower side sticks out a bit more than the left, and the left upper side has a small bulge. My surgeon says this is all internal bloat, internal fat, food intolerances, etc. But he says I don’t have external fat to even pinch. 2nd opinion Dr pushed in on my lower stomach and it went flat, she thinks it’s a muscle issue. It is also still very tight and uncomfortable.
