What Causes Protruded Upper Abdomen Along With Indigestion Post Abdominoplasty?

I had a tummy tuck and tumescent liposuction seven years ago, but started noticing (from day one) that my upper abdomen was slightly protruding. My plastic surgeon told me it would go down. Even after two visits, he then told me it was me, gaining weight.

I am 5'6" and weigh 170 lbs., my clothing size is a 8-10, and I work out 3-4x a week. My blood work has been normal and my blood pressure is excellent.

Seven years later, my upper abdomen is protruding even more substantially in size and I experience frequent indigestion. My primary physician performed an in-office exam and did not find anything unusual. I've undergone an xray (negative) an MRI (negative), and finally an ultrasound. Nothing.

What could be wrong with me. It's very embarrassing.
