Home, 12 inch scar, NO bypass surgery, BAD liver instead- LONG

I has wls on 8/12/03, I was suppose to have it 8/07/03 my surgeon opened me up and closed me right back up because he said I had cirhosis that was really bad ...When I awoke he told me and I was so disapointed,He told me I needed a transplant and it was at the end stages of cirhosis and I needed a transplant fast,Anyway he talked to me and told me I would either have to loose at least 50 lbs. to have a transplant or I coul have the wls and it would be risky,But he advised me that if I didnt loose the weight I could die from not having a transplant I decided to have surgery becouse I knew I wouldnt be able to loose on my own ...I had the surgery and was o.k. no bad complications I have been seeing a liver specialist and my liver even though I have cirhosis I will be o.k he said he couldnt feel my liver at my last visit and my labs were fine (first visit he could feel it was enlarged). I would keep pushing to have the surgery I feel the surgery saved my life....

Hi Terri, I am so sorry to hear your news, but like all the other posts say, it is good that they found out about the liver as it has probably saved your life. You are in my prayers that the surgeon will agree to do the surgery if it is in your best interest. I am sending prayers up for God to make whatever is best to make you healthy and happy happen. God bless you and hang in there. There are a lot of prayers going up for you and prayers work!! Christ's peace, Connie

I just wanted to say Thank you to everyone *****sponded here! I makes me feel truly loved! Terri
