Bloating / swelling after C-section

Have any of you noticed after a C-section your lower tummy has been really strangely swollen. I had my little girl in august and assumed it would go away over time but it’s not and almost a year later

For the first month or so after my section it felt as if my whole lower tummy had been packed up with rocks it was really heavy and lumpy every person who felt my tummy said it didn’t feel right.

I’ve been trying to loose weight since and can’t shift it the weight on my front is causing so much pain in my back I can’t walk far and haven’t been able to go back to work or anything.

Has anyone experienced this and knows what’s causing / caused it.

My doctor hasn’t been much help at all in finding out
