My neighbor had smiliar trouble months ago, and ended up being diagnosed with Mono...it had settled in her spleen and liver and caused her spleen to swell dangerously. She went on Bed Rest...like she was pregnant...for several months to give her body a chance to rest and heal. I'm not sure just how they diagnosed this. She has improved greatly, and the swelling is down. But it's been a long haul for her, and she keeps having to go back for ultrasounds to keep a check on the internal swelling. It's improving with time.

Just an idea...in case it helps? Maybe you could Google and get more info? Someone here (Jack?) may be able to say more. Good luck. I'm sorry you are in pain!

i'll ask if they checked for mono i know they check for hepititus. they took a chest x ray cat scan of the brain cuz of the fevers being so high. an ultra sound. thats how they found out about the enlarged liver and spleen. told me i have high liver enzymes. they dont know why. told me i could go home. just to drink more liquids and follow up with doc in a week. but last night i had some really bad pain in my back . then it went away and came back agien.

My daughter had the same thing at 19 she was diagnosed with mono.She also was really nauseated , she was in the hospital for about 3 days but sick for about 8 days. Sounds like the same symptoms.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
