Hi, @ilovegiaphangura. I don't have any experience as you describe, b\however, everytime I visit ,[=my transppant team annualloy, they do check my abdomen. I've honestly never asked why they did it, though.
I would like to tag fellow members, @footballmum, @jackie421blfdgurl, @patricia30 to this conversation. Perhaps they will have some ideas and experiences to share with you.

@ilovegiaphangura, What have your transplant doctors told you about this?

Good morning Kelly. I am just a little more than 3 years post transplant - and I also have a distended abdomen. I notice it gets worse after I eat - and in fact it distends more on my right side than the left. I can almost trace the outline - of what I thought was my new liver. My entire abdomen is herniated - my incision was opened 3 times due to post-transplant complications. I believe some mesh was used on one of those subsequent surgeries to hold everything in. I have not had a separate hernia surgery. But my doctors are not concerned. They told me the bulge that I am seeing is not my liver - but rather my intestines! It doesn’t bother me, but just looks kind of lumpy. In order to protect my abdominal wall, I wear an abdominal binder whenever I exercise or do any physical work - to try to limit the stress on my abdomen. I don’t want any more surgery if I can help it. I never had a six-pack abdomen - and I certainly don’t have one now. I have come to accept my new lumpy self. I am just so grateful to be alive.
