without offering health advise, i'll just say this-I've seen some people with ascites and you don't fit the bill in any way.
you're talking about severely distended abdomens in almost bed-ridden bottom barrel cases of alcoholism.

None of which had healthy liver numbers.

When I was admitted to the hospital on my last bender a year ago, i had fluid in my belly and it wasn't looking good. Even then the dr.s said I could still turn it around.

the point is, more than likely, this is nothing big. So if you're that scared go badger the doctor again. if it'll make you feel better. Our illness tends to try to lead us to fixate on one impossible obstacle and drive us right back out the door. So don't fall for it. It's just early sobriety. It's messy and scary.
