Ascites and edema gone. Belly remains.

[juneblue]

Hope all of you are well.

Quick question. Have any of you had ascites substantially decline and yet your belly remains hard and round? Will this ever go away? Walking and exercising strenuously. Lifting weights , sit-ups and walking approximately 10 miles a week. Eating much healthier. Haven’t drink alcohol in 9 months. Weight remains steady. The belly is embarrassing. Maybe I should be happy with all the other gains and I am. Just curious if any of you have experienced the same.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you. Your right. Just thought someone out there would know. My dr doesn’t even know. Will keep investigating. Hope all is well.

That’s funny. I had a paracentesis one time and my dad said I had lost a lot of weight. He said he was going to ask his dr to order the procedure for him. I had to explain to him why it wouldn’t work on him. Lol. Take care brother.
