Post Paracentesis?
I have been in the hospital for 3 days and was diagnosed with Cirrhosis. (at 29/F, mind you)
First let me just say that the relief everyone talks about is SO REAL and SO QUICK! I had 4 liters drained.
Luckily I got released and came home today! However, when I got out of the car at the pharmacy I noticed what are like… massive love handles? Kind of the best way to describe it. This was the first time I had worn my normal clothes obviously and was previously wearing those horrendously tight hospital underwear. I genuinely don’t know how I didn’t notice it before. I am fully aware it could take time for my body to go back to its shape this just seems odd.
So my question is whether this is normal or not?
Literally from the sides it looks like I got a BBL! It’s freaking me out. I have reached out to my care team and i’m waiting for them to get back to me.
Has anyone experienced this? Could it just be the fluids moving around?
Thank you in advance!
