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 😘

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
