Yesterday I had my 20 something abdominal surgery after I had a botched gastric bypass in 2003. I have I port implanted in my chest to keep me hydrated and fr TPN ( food ) and other medications that basically keep me alive. I spent 3 months in hospice 5yrs ago and now heading back down that path! The fed say I'm out of options. Anyone else going through something like this!?!

I had weight loss surgery in 2003 since then I have had majior complications. I now am unable to eat or drink enough and absorb it to keep me alive. So I have a port a cath implanted in my chest that I get hydration and TPN ( food ) from at night. I'm 38 and they just told me yesterday I am out of options and this will be my normal. That would be okay if the tpn didn't attack you over and now put me at stage 3 liver fibrosis. I feel so defeated physically and psychologically. Anyone else experiencing anything similar!?! I'm in rough spot andcould sure use some advice!

Recreational marijuana usage post Gastric Sleeve surgery
Raychel replied to existentialfatty's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Hey there! So I had my bypass years ago in 2003 and I smoked weed pretty soon after and had no issue! I did however end up starting to use harder stuff about a year or so after and I almost lost my life due to it, on several occasions. Please be careful! Remember once it's in you can't turn back! My struggle with with Coke and it ate away my insides to the point that I have had over 20 surgeries and now eat through a tube! I still smoke weed to help me eat some normal food and because I have severe ptsd from it all. Have fun but be careful on what you choose to use!
