Brief Answer:
negligible chances

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Practically there is possibility to be pregnant if tubes are tied. Only if there was wrong procedure done, it may happen but chances for it are negligible. You may just be bloated and this may happen in premenopausal women due to hormonal imbalance. Also, there may be fluid accumulation in abdomen or liver enlargement but it can be ruled out with ultrasound. Wish you good health. Regards
