I don’t think my stomach is full of water, but not sure. I had Osteoporosis but I was on Forteo for 2 yrs then transitioned to Prolia. As a result, I have be upgraded to Osteopenia. 🙂

@ronromo I don't think mine was always fluid retention. A while after my transplant I got rid of the excess fluid, it has come back with this medication - Tymlos.

I think beyond my current fluid retention, it's just excess skin/fat from when I was much heavier, and as I said above, when you are older your skin is less elastic so it just stays there.
