Health issues after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi ,

I was "sleeved" 4 months ago , 29th August. So far I've lost around 56-58 pounds. Since beginning I couldnt walk to much or exercise cause of the pain in the right side - where liver amd gallbladder are. Talked to my surgeon and did some bloodwork - everything seemed normal. Surgeon suggested to stay of working out and just walk. Last 2 weeks I had intens pain so I ended up doing an ultrasound to se what the hell is wrong.Of course gallbladder stones were to blame and there wasn't any surprise there. Another thing poped up - I suddenly have a hemangioma on my liver that wasn't there before surgery. It is 4 x 3 cm . I'm scheduled to remove gallbladder in one month. Right now I'm not sure is it the cause of pain because it isn't food related - I don't eat eggs - allergic, I don't eat greasy or spicy food , etc. I feel pain when I walk , try to exercise or do any activity for longer time.

Please any kind of advices pr experience is more than welcome.

Thanks

Selena

What does your surgeon say about the hemangioma? We all have these by the way. They are called incidentalomas (accidental findings). I have hemangiomas all over my body: liver, back, spine, etc...I don't believe they are supposed to cause pain? Don't know what the risk of them is. 4x3cm sounds alarming though. 2.54cm=1in.

I think your pain if from gb? But dunno. The liver thing would be big enough for you to feel it. I have a liver cyst that I feel when it flares up.

Why waiting 1 mo? I think if it gets worse, go to ER and keep doing it till they take it out earlier... ((hugs))

My surgeon said just to track it.

I have an appointment next week with him

I know a lot about it - usually it is a congenital and affects women more cause of estrogen

Fact one - I didn'thave that hemangioma on my liver before surgery - radiologist said " it looks like it but I'm not sure"

Fact two - gb is "calm" - no signs of inflammation or stone movement and medications given doesn't help with the pain

So I'm thinking to ask for a CT scan to check what is really going on inside

The reason for a month wait is to give chance to "calm" down and to do a pre op tests

The pain itself isn't intense but constant and boring and it hurts more when I move more - it feels like when your muscles are in pain after a run ... It gets sharper when I move around more

I'm just worried ... don't want to go on a surgery if they aren't sure what the problem really is , you know ..

Thanks for finding time to answer 😘

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
