Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 , You mentioned a liver biopsy in one of your notes. Have you had one? What was it like? My doc wants to do one, and while I know that many post-ops have high liver levels and I'm probably fine, I hate to pass on the test.... just in case.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Mine was for crazy ferritin levels. Apparently just as my body can soak up sugar from across town, I got all B's iron in my liver. They did make me gaga, I woke up once & felt the device (no pain, only cold plastic?), and then next I woke was pain in my shoulder and a little owie in the liver area. No big deal, was just getting ready to chow down on the sandwich they brought me and KBLAM, I had to lose my (absolutely nothing). Quite a violent spasm. So I'm standing there with the little pink bowl and the nurse goes, " Whatcha doing? " And I go, " Gee, absolutely nothing but it sure hurt. " Then on the way home (3 mi?), it hit again. My husband was freaking out and it was nothing. Who knows? But even dry heaves can be painful. , Re: Liver Biopsy > , > > You mentioned a liver biopsy in one of your notes. Have you had one?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Funny thing was that I had some diet 7-up on board. Still cold in my throat. But did I get it back? Noooo. Odder yet, I was putting mayo on the sandwich, organizing the tomatoes to my liking when this struck. And as soon as I caught my breath, I still wanted the sandwich.
