Please read and hope you can answer?

I know we dont give medical advice on SR..........I am just asking for people to share their personal experience please?

I stopped drinking 3 weeks ago, I was drinking daily and heavily for around 8 years (usually Brandy or Wine)

I wont drink again, I have no interest in the rubbish at all!

BUT.. I started getting a bloated stomach, it is so hard and it is even difficult to bend down and put my shoes on, it is hard and uncomfortable.
I had right upper pain where liver is so I went to the hospital.
They took bloods and said all was fine except I had raised GGT levels which were 103.

After I stopped drinking the bloating would come and go throughout the day.

I would get up in a morning quite slim but by afternoon I am massive and three sizes bigger and have to unbutton my clothing?

I have a scan on my stomach tomorrow but they will make me wait 2 weeks for results.

I have some slight tenderness in the right upper side still.

I am not swollen anywhere else, my legs are fine and no swelling apart from stomach...........Anyone ever had this please???

My bowels seem fine too, my urine looks fine and the correct colour.

I am also very very tired all the time.
