gas issues post liver transplant

In the interest of full disclosure, I still have some minor acities, ive had 3 paras in the last 6 mos, will need 1 more before I have a hernia procedure.
Before my transplant I was doing a para aprox every 10 days with up to 10 liters average,
aprox 23 total.
I’ve also had aprox 5 incidents of severe pain and nausea to the extent that I had to lay on the floor or bed in a fetal position till the pain subsided . In discussion with my team I suggested trapped gas, my doctor suggested temporary blockage
and internal exam if it kept up.
Have not had that issue for the last 1.5 months thankfully. Not interested in being poked or prodded any more!

@smithjim, I'm sorry to hear about the ascites. Hopefully this will end soon.
I am jumping in here to say that I had to have a hernia surgery at 1 year post transplant. It was due to a kink in the unique bile duct connection that I needed. Like you, I did not want anymore pokes or prods. I felt that I had already had more than enough of those. My procedure went well, and it was performed by my transplant surgeon. The experience was nothing like a transplant surgery! It healed quickly with no surgical clamps, just surgical tape. I hope that your surgery goes as smoothly for you.
Stay in touch.
