Ok so here is my story, I originally had gastric bypass Jan 7 2007, I weighed 292 and 4 years later I had my first esophagus stricture due to a stomach ulcer, my weight was normal and other than my stricture I was able to eat anything I wanted, I recovered from the ulcer an stricture and went on as normal until last year 28th Feb I had another ulcer which caused a small bowel stricture, doctor took me in for surgery to remove the ulcer, I weighed 161 lbs day of surgery, an when I awoke from anesthetic the doctor said he noticed my pouch was stretched out and revised it for me, since then I am barely a 100lbs and everything I eat including soup hurts and causes gases burping and vomiting, I throw up at least 2 times a day from attempting to eat, ...I just want to go back to normal, ...how can a doctor revise my surgery without consent?

Ok thank u ...only place I've found to talk

I am talking to an attorney today, but since the revision and rapid weight loss its sent me into secondary amenoria ( where my menstruation stops) bc my body is basically telling me I'm to unhealthy to bear child, also had many visits for malnutrition vitamin deficiency and dehydration, now dealing with major pain bc of muscle loss and lack of vitamins, can't find a doctor here locally who will actually prescribe me something other than ibprofen an anti inflammatory meds given past ulcers and gastric says I can't have either of those,...

I did and he simply said to prevent any future weight gain it was simply a pre caution measure,...I was just curious if anyone had anything happen to them like this or would suggest legal

Exactly my thought,...I understand the surgery removal of ulcer but to push me back to the beginning after 5 years to the point where I am malnourished and underweight now and throw up everything I try to eat,

It wasn't life threatening doctor suggested I have the ulcer removed,....how is removing an ulcer and revising my (stretched out a little bit)pouch back to the beginning of gbypass even go together?
