Liver Still Too Large What Now?????



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on the 16th with Dr. Van Wagner in St. Louis, after coming out of surgery I found out that my liver was still to large for him to get the band on. So after all of this I still didnt get my band. I followed the pre op diet as dirrected no cheats!

I talked to a nurse but she didnt say to me yes he will re do it and I dont get to see him until tomorrow and I'm going a little nutz! I've worked for eight months to get this surgery just to come out of it with 5 holes and no band!

Totally sad!

:wink2:

Oh Crystal,

I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through. I would assume that he will redo it in a couple of months after another strict liver reducing diet. I will keep you in my prayers. Are you experiencing any pain from the surgery or since he just did some exploratory are you feeling pretty healthy? Good luck and keep us posted.

How much are you over weight???

I've never heard of that happening - I'm sorry to hear it - keep us posted on what the doctor says.

that sucks. it's strange how some doc's are concerned about liver size and others aren't. My doc didn't even put me on a pre-op diet...

i hope it works out for you!

Wow.. I am so sorry to hear that. Someone else on here went thru the same exact thing. Depending on your bmi, and or either your tummy fat you should have prob. went on a 3-mth pre-op diet with all liquids or something... They do it on Big Medicine all the time on there. Did they give u any type of r/s date yet?

Sorry to hear about your situation. Would an ultra-sound have resolved this issue? My doctor prescribed an ultra sound to look at my liver before performing the surgery. Perhaps you can get an ultra-sound to make sure you are ready next time.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
