High Risk Patient due to scar tissue/adhesions
Bling_Queen posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi. I'm hoping someone can give me some insight. I was all gung-ho about my surgery. I had al clearances done. I was transparent about all of my prior surgeries. Surgery day came. My surgeon opened me up and closed me after three hours and aborted the surgery due to my having "the worst case of scar tissue I've ever seen" condition. I'm all upset because I NEED this surgery or else I can't have the other surgery I desperately need which is revision surgery on my back (I have scoliosis) where there's concrete causing me to have severe pinched nerves on both shoulders and pain going down my whole left side of my body and resulting in my sciatic nerves to hurt me as well! My orthopedic doctor WILL NOT operate on me with this weight and is afraid if I don't have the sleeve, I'm just going to get bigger and bigger to where I won't be able to walk on my own!! I'm scared & desperately need advice! Someone? Anyone? PLEASE⁉️ -

NOone will touch me with my condition!!! ANY advice?? I'm DESPERATE!!! 😩😩 -

Scar tissue and the sleeve
Bling_Queen replied to peacequeen's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! I'm hoping someone is still here or someone reads this and can offer me a ray of hope.... So, I was all excited my surgery day had come & was going to finally get sleeved! Monday, January 8, 2018 ... FINALLY!!! ...I woke up in the recovery room thinking I'd actually been sleeved! Everything was successul...I was alive! (I was afraid & thinking 'doomy' thoughts prior to my actual surgery, so that's why I was happy to know that I came out of it alive!) ... Well, the nurse stood at her computer with her back to me and she said in a taunting-like manner, "You did not have your surgery!" I didn't think I heard her right, so I asked again, and she responded with "Nope!" I became very upset & actually started crying. Dr. Daly came later and told me he couldn't proceed because I had so much scar tisue from my previous surgeries that everything was jumbled together and it was the worst case he has ever seen. He then walked away as I laid there crying without another word! Later, I was told by Collette (the lady/doctor who was assisting Dr Daly) that they've referred me to a diffeent doctor and there's a new procedure where they fold your stomach over and insert the sleeve down your throat! I'm not interested in a new procedure! I've been reading where one can get the scar tissue removed/fixed...but I don't know where to go for that! I've also read where people have had the same diagnosis, and they still got sleeved!! Collette, I believe, even said there's a more extensive surgery, like 15-16 hours, but they've referred me to someone else, that I have to have a consultation with IN 4 WEEKS!!!! I'M SO DISCOURAGED!!!
