I was suspended from math.stackexchange and I need to access the answer to one of the questions I posted before my suspension as soon as possible. However it seems as if the questions and answers have just disappeared. Is there a reason for this and how can I retrieve it again?

@XanderHenderson Hi, sorry to bother. I would like to ask a question. If a user has offered a bounty for an existing answer, but this same user has been temporarily suspended, what happens to the bounty?
@XanderHenderson Basically I read that the bounty can be awarded to an answer posted after the bounty is created, but this is contradictory because the bounty is for an already existing answer.
There is no obligation to award the bounty, yet no matter what you do you will not get back your points (from the help center, linked in a comment).
If you do not award your bounty within 7 days (plus the grace period), the highest voted answer created after the bounty started with a minimum ...
@XanderHenderson After the user's suspension period, is it possible to notify the user in the comments asking if he/she is again willing to offer the bounty he/she started prior to his/her suspension, or is it forbidden?
@Bml That is generally not what comments are for. And fishing for people to award you a bounty (or giving the appearance that you are doing so) is frowned upon.
You have devoted a lot of time and energy into that particular answer of yours. I would suggest that you let it lie fallow for a while, and move on to other things.
@XanderHenderson I understand, and you are absolutely right, but it was the user who offered the bounty, and my response is just as eligible as the others written before the bounty was created. I know that's not what comments are for, but for example I can't find the user's chat profile (everyone should have one, right?). Just a question.
