    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.

    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.

After a month of trying to get me better,I was finally put on transplant list on a Fri and on Sunday I got the call I was a backup, by midnight I got the call again that I was the primary and to be at hospital in 30 minutes. That was back in 2022. Doing better then ever now.

    I can sooo relate to this video. 22 years ago, a simple gall bladder removal resulted in the dr cutting my hepatic duct, without realizing it. Went home that day. About two weeks later I looked like the gentleman in your video. I couldn’t walk, I was in so much pain. They drained 14 liters from my abdomen. I was so sick…I was in icu for 3 months because they didn’t know how to fix me. There was only 1mm of hepatic duct left to work with. Well, six doctors from 3 separate hospitals came up with a plan, Thank God, because I am here today!

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. He was panting due to the fluid pushing on his diaphragm. I miss him so bad, I am devastated. Prayers to this man. I can't imagine what he is dealing with on a daily basis.

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.

      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.

      One of the most FAKE video's I have ever seen. NOTICE he is still wearing his street cloths the IV is not connected the nurse stands there with her arms on her hips everything in his belly would have been a gel not a fluid if he had that much fluid in his belly he would have been dead SO FAKE also did I say cameras would not be allowed especially for use on Utube.

    I have to say "thank to" to this man also for allowing this to be filmed. As a patient in various situations, but especially because I was a R.N., I am always quick to say "yes" whenever my Providers have a student with them& ask if they can watch or assist. To be given a chance to learn on a "live" body is critical to caring for real patients. Even just the opportunity to converse with patients in the Health Care setting helps build the skills needed for a lifetime career.

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.

    As a Sonographer, I’ve been involved in hundreds of paracentesis. Unfortunately ascites is not just cirrhosis but can include patients with liver cancer (primary and metastasis) and patients with ovarian cancer. My most memorable patient was a lady a few years ago with ovarian cancer who was with our department nurses weekly for paracentesis. As we neared Christmas, she asked if she could sing some carols to the department. As we all gathered around with tears streaming down on our faces, she sang bravely and beautifully. She was gone before the New Year. 😢

    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! It is not fair to anyone to loose their father at such an early age😢

    My father passed away from alcoholic cirrhosis last year. He battled with the condition for a whole decade. Despite getting a liver transplant, he didn't make it, as his body was too weak to endure the stress of the surgery. In his last 8-10 months, he had this procedure done numerous times where they would drain 10/12 litres of fluid each time. Hope this patient is doing well. Appreciate him doing this video!

      When I was a nurse I refused to let a Dr. treat me disrespectfully. Even as a Nursing Student we had a great team of Instructors who instilled pride in us & taught us we were equals in respect in a Health Care Team. Of course too, this was just as the Viet Nam Conflict was ending & men (ex- Medics) were entering Nursing. They were used being treated as peers, so they weren't going to put up with any crap from an "on a pedestal" doctor.

    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.
    To those of you out there who have this or know someone who has this: please fight to get better. Don't end up like my dad.

    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 🤷‍♂️
