Well, I had several surgeries on my abdomen ( for Crohn's ) and I can say that I have gained muscle ...Although , from where I had my colostomy , I got a lop sided belly hehe...

I heard that stomach muscles can come back - it's just that you have to rebuild them from scratch again, which can make it a longer more tedious process.
