My dad is going to have his kidney removed this week. I was just wondering what complication do or may occur in post op period. Also if someone who experienced Nephrectomy would like to share story with us would be great.

Hi, I had a kidney removed a year ago. I had pain around my incision few months, soreness in my chest, ribcage. I was on meds for some time, anti depressant too. I can’t say I handle this well, although some people had other complications such as hbp and infections or even a kidney failure after Nephrectomy. It is individual thing.

Oh my God, I cannot believe that some idiot actually took the time to send you such a negative answer......wasn.t it obvious that you had written your original msg out of worry!!!!! I had a left nephrectomy on the 23rd November 2003 at the age of 31 and to be honest it was the best thing that ever happened to me!!!!!! I had a staghorn calculus (large infected stone) that had been causing recurrent infections draining all my energy and leaving me feeling very ill. Within 1 1/2 days of my operation I was off the morphine, a day later I was sent home and within a week I was able to go for short walks outside. I had tenderness around the scar for a few weeks but nothing more. Four weeks later I was at a Christmas party, drinking and dancing better than before!!! I can honestly say that I have never looked back and I really and trully hope that your dad has just as positive an experience as I did. The way I looked at it......it wasn't working so whip it out!! ( mind you, I was pretty glad I had two and that the other on was healthy ...ha ha!!!)
You know where I am if you need any more words of wisdom!! |

| I just had my kidney removed 4 weeks ago today. I am 33 and it was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I have had 5 kids, my gallbladder removed and an appendectomy. My surgery was not laprascopic that might make a big difference. I was donating to my brother. who is doing wonderful by the way. The first 2 weeks were very hard the 3rd better and we will see about the 4th. I still have pain. |
