Thank you. Should we have been warned about that prior to flying?

As I noted, and remember I am not a medical professional - but, 6000-8000 feet pressurized cabin altitude is normally not a medical issue - recall very ill and injured patients are flown in this manner.

Did you review the citation about ascites? Here is another that is a bit more blunt, but remember, still a general article.

In many cases, ascites is an indication of metastasis of cancer into the liver, omentum/periotoneum, and other locations.
