my son had a TIPS procedure on Tuesday and I wondered if anyone who has had the procedure would share their experience . some of the things I don’t know and would like to know :
Did you have any pain in your shoulder for a few days after?
do you know if they inflated your abdomen with CO2 before the surgery ?
Did the TIPS reduce the ascities and did you have an immediate improvement ?
Did you need draining afterwards ? Was it fewer litres and less frequent ?
Thank you so much . I’m just trying to learn more about cirrhosis so I can support my son . Best wishes to everyone Carol
