My appt with surgeon today

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I saw the local surgeon today. He had referred me to a more experienced

surgeon for evaluation of the right upper quadrant pain I am experiencing

due to my being so complex and my liver enzymes and bilirubin being

elevated. This was after extensive testing with no clear cut answers to the

pain.

Both surgeons agree that I need to have an exploratory laparotomy, lysis

of adhesions and an intra operative cholangiogram. The local surgeon also

found at least one incisional hernia above the waist.. same place that I had

a hernia repair done during my revision in 2002. This will need to be

addressed.. and he thinks I may have another hernia a bit further down my

incision line.. but is not sure.

I am not sure when I am having this surgery as the surgeon has to

coordinate my surgery date.. which will be on a Wednesday ,.. and his

schedule with the GI doctor /s schedule .. so that the GI doctor can do the

intraoperative cholangiogram. I will post as I know more details..

To tell you all the truth, I am nervous about another surgery, and relieved

that they are going to try and do something to relieve the severe pain at the

same time.. I suppose I am just reacting normally to having another surgery..

being nervous and a bit anxious.

Take care

Hugs,

I have to admit that one of the reasons that I don't have a TT is that I am

wary of another surgery, but if I were having your pain, I would do it in a

minute. Good luck to you.

Dear Faye,

I would love to have a tummy tuck, but am anemic so that isnt an option

with this surgery .. I will have to wait until my health is much improved to

undergo reconstructive surgeries. But, thanks for the input.

Dear Tara,

I had hernia repairs done but not with mesh before. I dont know if the

current surgeon plans to use mesh or not.. These are more questions that I

need to ask of him before I have surgery again.

I hope you do well.
