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 ?

I can't really help with first part - regarding the open surgery.I had a tough surgery lasted almost 4 hours cause some complications. I did feel the same way first 10 - 15 days Also had trouble with controling bowell movement I was on liquids for 4 weeks and understan you well in that mater Also had issues with "feeling" and knowing when I'm hungry. I honestly think you have been trough a lot and you must give your body time to heal specialy cause it was an open surgery. Recovery is longer , harder I had laparoscopic surgery and had a lot of difficulties with moving around - like you said walk for few min and felt like I've been runing a marathon [emoji28] Give yourself time and keep in touch with surgeon and your medical team

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 [emoji4] Selena

My surgeon told me the same thing [emoji4] I guess I was just scared and emotional in general . Thanke you so much for explaining. It makes sense that it has to close from inside out . I'm just scared of infections and complications . You helped a lot [emoji8]

Drains were and still are the worst part of all this . Just today I was freaking out - I have holes in those places and it is ****** scary [emoji43][emoji33] but my surgeon was helpful and explained everything so I'm much calmer right now . Recovery is good except these incisions. Thanks for nice wishes [emoji8]

Well not really sure about guidelines. I was admitted to hospital and anesthesiologist came and checked me once more - and decided not to go with central line. He said I have good and useable veins. I was receiving a bundle of liquids and medications for first 3 days . Most important everything went well Now heading to healing [emoji4]

Already doing that - changing gauze twice a day Nurses are using Hydrogen , salin and Rivanol solution Of course I contacted my surgeon today Waiting for a response Hoping for the best [emoji4] Thanks for answering [emoji8]

Just for notice [emoji6] They didn't put central line - my veins were good [emoji4] I had two draining tubes - not sure is that common I'm healing well in 4 incision sites But those two places where drains were are not quite good ... Hoping to resolve that soon [emoji4]

I'm post op day 7 Operation was successful Ended up with 6 incisions - with stitches I had 2 draining tubes All other incisions places are ok and healing well but those two where my drain were - it looks awfull I have bloody HOLES and they are not closing Still have secretion coming out those places So ... experiences Cause I'm scared and a angry [emoji36]

I must be there two days earlier.First day they will do my blood tests for check up. Second day they will apply central venous line and the third day it is surgery . Good luck to you too [emoji8][emoji8][emoji8]

It is madness - just two more days until going to hospital - and four days until surgery [emoji27][emoji1] is it even possible that days are going by so fast [emoji23] good luck to you [emoji8]

It is hard in the beginning. I have did full liquid diet for first three - four days. I had headache and felt weak in those first days Good luck with your surgery and your journey [emoji8]

Well my surgeon requested diet woth calorie intake 1200 - as long as I stayed in that range I can eat anything I want But cause of easier calorie counting I'm in a full liquid diet with one meat - low or no carbs meal

I know about Betadine - the colour and the smell is weird [emoji57] Lets hope it will all pass well Can't wait these seven days to pass ...

Honestly , I hope too . Thanks - any experience means a lot I will ask my surgeon is it really necessary or not Of course - you must feel the line going in ... There is a bundle of complications connected with central line but I'll hope for the best Thanks Mikeyy [emoji8]
