This and That and Talk - My Transplant

Hi, I am a newbie. I am a 1 yr. post Liver Transplant recipient. I have had abdominal pain since Nov. 2020. Dr.’s thought it was nerve ending damage and referred me to Pain Mgmt. In February, the right side of my abdomen area started protruding outward. After a series of tests, it was finally discovered recently by a trauma surgeon that I need to have surgery to reconstruct my abdominal wall. I would like to hear from others who may of had the same issue and any and all comments would be appreciated.

@melody12, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am always happy to greet a new member who has had a liver transplant! I had a liver and kidney transplant in 2009.
Has the surgery been scheduled? Is your liver transplant team aware of this?
I want to suggest that you visit the Discussion – Liver transplant support group. It is a good place to post your question about your abdominal surgery. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/liver-support-group/

Hello @melody12 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am really sorry to hear about your abdominal wall surgery that you now need. It sounds like this was perhaps part of your surgery outcome from your transplant but I would like to clarify to be sure.
