Toby Michael 19 Posted April 19, 2013 Well, after years of saying I didn't want to have the bypass here I am 4 days post op. About 5 years ago my partner had surgery and has maintained over 200lb loss. Multiple spinal injuries later and I made my decision. So far so good. It was weird that I felt better in the hospital than at home. Surgery performed by Dr. Fuzz at Wake Forest Baptist one of the nicest doctors I've ever known. Waiting to hear more details about a liver biopsy but all in all a good start. 1 ElleG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toby Michael 19 Posted April 19, 2013 They found scar tissue on my liver while they were in there. They are having a specialist check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roke 1 Posted April 19, 2013 Interesting. I have a side pain that I've asked my surgeon to look at while he's in there as well. Was wondering how much they would be able to see but it sounds like they are used to looking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunnybare 6 Posted April 20, 2013 Congrats on your surgery and I wish you the most success! Are they thinking fibrosis with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Diesease? I have pretty severe fatty liver and they are going to biopsy mine when they are in there. Weightloss and low-no carb with moderate fat and excercise help improve it a lot.

Toby Michael 19 Posted April 20, 2013 I just completed my first full night of sleep. When I woke to see the sun shining through the blinds it was great. I've been sleeping just a couple of hours at a time. 1 snowbunny13 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
