@amandaburnett Hi Amanda I hope I'm doing this post more correctly. The liver resection is a massive surgery for anyone to undergo and comes with risks. I was under 4 1/2 hours, it was not laparoscopic bc the surgeon needed to get to a difficult area by blood supply. He described it as "complicated but successful." The surgical drain caused me severe discomfort. It hurt a lot even while in the hospital and I thought that it was normal where is was not. I lasted a week at home with it (in tears with pain on several occasions) and went to the ER to have it taken out. The opinion was that it had to have been touching nerves. In my instance 60% of my liver (the right side is larger) and gall bladder were removed. There was definitely pain and fatigue. Tomorrow is post-op 2 months officially and I still need to be careful about doing too much or lifting too much. Do I need to do @theperson each time?
