Omgggg christiemon, I feel for ya really. I am going through the same thing, among others. I am scheduled for June 13th, and I just found out he only sleeved 8 , so that worries me too, but....he has done thousands of bypasses and bands, and his nurse told me he is 3rd top surgeon in New Jersey, so..., but I really wish u well. Im sure if he is like my surgeon, and has done many surgeries, ur in good hands I have every ailment in the book, in addition. I have 3 hernia repairs that need repair, and a hiatal one, diabetes, hb pressure, asthma, copd, lupus, osteo arthritis, sleep apnea, and anything else u can think of, but my intestines r hanging way below my pelvis area, and they need to go in anyway. Because of my 16 surgeries in the last 10 yrs, nobody will touch me. This one trauma surgeon will do it, if i get sleeved at the same time, so Im going under with double trouble!!! You will be fine, and I know ur scared, but what I keep thinking is.. millions of ppl r doing it, and these surgeons dont want law suits on their hands, so if he was not able to handle it, he wouldn't. Im sure ur in good hands, and we will all keep u in our prayers. Good luck, and get better fast so u can get back here and let us know how fine u will be

I am no doctor, nor am I a nurse, but it could have very well been that u had some sort of obstruction. I have had 16 abdominal surgeries in the last 7 yrs like, and most were hernia repairs and bowel obstructions, and i'll tell ya, there is noooo pain in this worldddddd like an obstruction. I have had partial and full blown obstructions, and its like someone is stabbing u in cold blood, with a knife constantly....major pain and very uncomfortable feeling, and u cant go to the bathroom, so it sounds to me like thats probably what u experienced. that is what they give u for the pain....morphein In any event, im glad ur feeling better now, and hope ur'll never have to experience anything like that again!!! I have every ailment under the sun. In addition, recently diagnosed with lupus, and after all the bypass surgeons told me im nooo candidate for the bypass, now,....cause my intestines r hanging way below my pelic area, and its like an emergency sort of, they wanna do the sleeve on me and repair the intestines/hernia at the same time. Good luck to u keep up the good work!!!

HELLO ALL IM SOOOO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THIS SITE, IT LOOKS GREAT! I GUESS I DIDN'T CHOOSE A GOOD TOPIC DESCRIPTION, BUT IT WAS THE BEST I CAN THINK OF. OK, HERE IS MY STORY...I AM A 46 YR OLD FEMALE. I HAVE BEEN MORBIDY OBESE ALL MY LIFE. I WAS ALREADY WEIGHING 300 LBS IN THE 3RD GRADE!!!, AND GAVE BIRTH TO MY SON WEIGHING ALMOST 12 LBS, AT 475 POUNDS!!! I HAVE BEEN THROUGH BOUTS OF ANOREXIA, AND IN PARTICULAR...BULEMIA. I COME FROM AN ITALIAN FAMILY THAT KNEW NOTHING ABOUT NUTRITION, AND A TYPICAL MEAL WAS 5 DIFFERENT CARBS, 5 DIFFERENT MEATS, AND THENSOME. OVER THE YRS, I HAVE DEVELOPED DIABETES TYPE 2, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, ASTHMA, ARTHRITIS, AN ERROSIVE ESOPHAGUS, GASTRIC REFLUX, SOMETHING OR ANOTHER GASTRITIS, A HAETAL HERNIA, AND MORE, WHICH I CAN'T THINK OF AT THIS MOMENT. I HAVE ALSO HAD 4 HERNIA REPAIRS, AND 4 OR 5 BOWEL OBSTRUCTIONS, A GALL BLADDER AND APPENDIX REMOVAL, A C-SECTION, A CATHETERIZATION WHICH I HAD TO HAVE TO BE CLEARED CARDIOLOGY WISE FOR THE GASTRIC BYPASS WHICH I NEVER HAD, AND NOW I HAVE LUPUS! JUST TO GIVE U AN IDEA OF MY PAST AND PRESENT LIFE STYLE. A GASTRIC BYPASS SURGEON IN NO. NJ REFERRED ME TO THIS SURGEON WHO SUGGESTS THE SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY IS WHAT I NEED TO HAVE DONE, IN ADDITION TO ANOTHER HERNIA REPAIR AT THE SAME TIME. ALL SURGEONS IN THE PAST TOLD ME I WAS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR THE BARIATRIC SURGERY CAUSE OF ALL MY HERNIA/BOWEL OBSTRUCTIONS, AND...I HAVE NO MUSCLE LEFT IN MY STOMACH FROM ALL THE PREVIOUS SURGERIES. MY INTESTINES, AT THIS TIME HAVE DROPPED WAY BELOW MY PELVIC AREA ON XRAYS WHICH WAS SHOWN AND EXPLAINED TO ME. THIS SURGEON I SAW A FEW DAYS AGO TOLD ME I AM GOING TO DIE, AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, I HAVE TO TAKE THAT RISK. THIS IS A TRAUMA SURGEON WHO SPECIALIZES IN HERNIAS. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID. I HAVE A 12 YR OLD BOY. I HAVE ONE SISTER, AND NO FAMILY LEFT AT THIS TIME, SINCE I WAS BORN AFTER 18 YRS MARRIAGE. PLZ, PLZ, I NEED ALL THE ADVICE, SUGGESTIONS, AND FEEDBACK POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY STORY...NOVEL LOL I AM NOW WEIGHING BETWEEN 320 --330 LBS. ATTACHED IS MY PIC. THX AGAIN
