    I was on a liver transplant list for over 3 years before it happened. I was drained 2 times a week taking any where from 10 to 14 liters of fluid. I wore suspenders to keep my pants/skirts from dropping on drainage day. Started at women's size 18/20 and ended up at a 14 after draining. Transplant was done on 12/24/25/ 2019. My Christmas miracle.

    Had no idea I had this condition until I couldn't breath one day at work. My work mates put me in an ambulance and made me go to the hospital. Over the next three days they drained almost 40 liters of fluid off my body. I suffered with this condition almost two years where in my body was eating all my muscle mass. I was put on the transplant list for a liver. I was lucky to get a liver and it took almost 6 months to get back to the point where I could go back to work. I was so weak that I would have to pull my self up the stairs. It was not fun. I went through about 20 paracentesis procedures before my transplant at the end it was every week with at least 16 liters each time. I am three years post op for the transplant and 65 years old and survived covid without hospitalization. I'm one of the lucky ones.

    Ascites usually indicate a grave danger to a patient’s life. This is so personal to me as my father had similar buildup of fluid in the abdomen before being diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer which had spread to the peritoneum. He left us for the heavens just 2 months after the diagnosis. There is not a single day which goes by that I don’t miss him. He was just 56. RIP Papa!

      Treatment of cirrhosis of the liver and ascites. Todka or Orso supplement with protein albumin, vitamins D320000+ K2100, Magnesium Street 400, Vitamin C Complex, Vitamin B Complex, methylene cobalamin, vitamin E, tocotrienol, psyllium, Omega 3, and zinc. Better yet, you analyze vitamins and minerals, and in a month the ascites heals. You continue to take the supplement every three months, provided you prevent any. A doctor laughs at you and withdraws abdominal fluids. They kill you like they killed my mother six months ago, and before that, my only aunt is younger than my mother. May God take revenge on them and keep watch over them and their families. It is necessary to prevent the withdrawal of abdominal fluids.

      Maybe a surgical resident not very skilled. I had two docs who were always very good at introducing the needle/catheter, and a third who always seemed to make things more painful. All three used local numbing injection first but the third one never waited longer than 20 seconds for the anesthetic to work while the other two always waited about two minutes, filled the time by chatting or jotting down some notes. The third doc always seemed to be in a hurry and didn't make much small talk. But even with the worst one, it wasn't that terrible compared to the greater discomfort of living with the distention. By the time I was due for my procedure I was like 'bring that sh-t on I'm ready'.

I found out that he had this problem and even through the drained the fluid they said I had to put him to sleep. I feel horrible I didn't know something was wrong. He was up all night panting, so I stayed up with him and took him to the vet in the morning. I never imagine they would have told me that. He was only 5.

    It’s weird that this popped up in my recommended videos. I kept ignoring it but finally gave him and watched it. I lost my mom November 20, 2020 due to non alcoholic liver cirrhosis. I’m here to beg everyone please get wellness exams and try your best to avoid this if possible! My mom for as long as I could remember always have elevated liver function on her labs. They constantly told her to lose weight and pretty much but the cirrhosis into “remission”. 30 years of that it turned to stage 4 quickly. She was diagnosed with stage 4 July 5, 2019. She was tired of fighting the fatigue, fluid, itching, etc. she also missed my dad who had died 5 years prior. We were SOOOO close to a transplant but she took a bad turn over night and didn’t make it..So, please. Everyone stay healthy!!!! Love to all.

      The pain of fluid build up is super intense. It's the worst when it squeezes your lungs and heart, but mine is caused by heart failure not by liver damage. If I end up with twenty lbs of fluids I can't even lay down cause I will suffocate to death. It's shitty. This guy has much more buildup then I have had but it builds up in a different way then mine does. Fluid floods into my muscles and into any sacs that surround important organs and create lots of stress and pressure. It doesn't pool in my stomach like that at all.

    My dad was an alcoholic for most of his life, and he had this for a while before he died. He hated going to the doctor, so they were able to set him up to do the drainage with assistance at home. He never did end up getting on the transplant list, because when the doctors asked if he would quit drinking after a transplant, he said no. He passed in the spring of 2014 after his body just couldn't handle the degradation anymore.

    Ugh. That brings back some bad memories. I suffered from some pretty bad ascites after I took 3 bullets through the midsection overseas. The bullets entered through my right side, broke apart, and tore through my liver, my spleen, my gall bladder, and my stomach. I lost half my liver, my entire gall bladder, my spleen, 1/3 of my stomach, and 6 inches of my small intestine. Most fluid they pulled in a single time was about 9 liters, and I spent a total of 3.5 years and 17 surgeries to fix the damage (that doesn't include the amount of time I spent in rehab, or the amount of time that I spent after they amputated my left leg (below the knee amputation... I'm still trying to get lined up for an osseointrgration surgery so I can get a permanent implant, but because it's below the knee, it's not very likely).
    Shit was incredibly painful, and at one point I looked like I was pregnant or something. I did come out of it with some pretty awesome scars though, so there's that 🤷‍♂️
