Several years ago i had part of my colon removed. Normally the doc would make the incision vertically starting below the naval and going up past the naval about 4-6 inches. Making an incision about 8 inches in total length. I asked him how we could avoid this, and he agreed to make my incision horizontally, below my naval, at my waist line. Just like a "c section" that a female would get. So the cool thing is he spared my abs, no nasty scar. However, when i came out of surgery my abdomen was bigger on one side than the other. Its very pronounced below my waist line, the pubic region right above my dick. I thought surely it would go away over time. I figured it was swelling, or maybe my insides just had to find their place again. Well, its been 5 years now, and its the same exact way. My sugeon passed away about a year after the surgery, and i havent had the need to see a doctor again concerning my colon. So i never got a professional explanation for my "lop sided" abdomen. But i assume there is a void on one side where they removed part of my small intestine?
I guess what im saying is, your internal organs def effect how your abdomen looks, i have proof.
