Smoking weed pre op
countrygirl replied to deesleevednowbypassed's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I've recently found out that my former surgeon damaged my small intestine causing a small pocket, so when i eat some if my food goes there & backs up in throat . I vomit & get nausea multiple times daily each yime i eat, he also has been treating me for ulcers & reflux but i have neither, its all due to his gauging small intestine & never saying sorry plus i have only 1 staple now ,a new Dr had to remove it cause it was dangling & could have ripped my intestine also. -
