bloaded abdomen

hi....
I am a midium completion guy  in my late 30's//162/// 5'8" pounds that love to work out ...always fit
In June 2008 I suffered from Dehadration due to a heat stroke ...@ the hospital my rennal function started to decrease and I was diagnosed with Acute renal failure ///secondary to Acute tubular necrosys//// secondary to rhabdomyolysis.
It took me sveral weeks to flush the myolosys out of my Kidneys....But @ the end my body reacted well to the treatment....I remember that @ 1 point my weight went up to 222lb (reteining water)...but when I went home from the Hospital my weight was @ 140lb.....after 5 months and plenty of test (rennal scan twice--blood work --sono grams..ect) I recovered all my weight and my strengh as well...but my belly looks and feels big...right by the umbilical section...sometimes it fells as a small Ballon....My doctors says it is part of my metabolisim...my GI says that @ my age ... bellies start to grow (39)...more commonly in Persons that work out regulary
and I am really fustrated with the way my belly looks.....for a person that used to have a flat abdomen to a half belly.....i am worried this could be symptons of something more serious.....

hi, sometimes when people put on weight fast and lose it fast, it tends to stretch the skin and leave a mass looking like a balloon.
