Maybe it wasn't the aortic "valve " but the man doesn't have legs as a result and the document I read and have saved is from the Texas medical board. It list her, her attorney and it was signed by her. I will ask her but definitely glad I found the info. -

TaylorMade4One replied to TaylorMade4One's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I read the statement from the board which said the surgeon punctured the aortic valve which cause heavy bleeding. When the valve was punctured it was closed back up as if she didn't know it was the aortic valve. The patient was rushed to a different hospital for treatment which is when another nurse noticed his legs were cold. Legs were amputated from the knees up. The surgeon was required to pay 1500 and go thru additional training. I know I missing a lot of detail but I sent the report to myself to share with my family. If I ask her about this situation I'm sure it will be awkward for her and myself...I REALLY like her and what's the chances of that happeneing again but still make me very concerned. Hope I'm not scaring others into not having surgery...[emoji52][emoji53] -

Gastritis and hiatal hernia
TaylorMade4One replied to MissPriss81's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon said my hiatal hernia was "huge" and that she would talk more about it at my next appointment. I already knew I had a hernia and it was probably big but now I'm concerned on what else she saw. -

Almost quit on Day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet
TaylorMade4One replied to Yo-yo girl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can do it!!! Think about it this way, you've had those things before and it's time to give yourself a chance at something new for your body. One day you may be able to have it but just not today. One day at a time. You got this !!! -
Oh wow! I'll look into the one in Arlington. When and which surgery did you have? Sorry, if I'm asking too much. I just had my EGD today and my psych eval is on the 11th so my date should be soon. Hoping I'm doing everything I should be for success.

When is your surgery and are you able to have one sensible meal per day? -
Which group/location do you prefer? What is discussed

I live in south dallas (Ducanville). Arlington isn't that far just depends on the day of the week.

Anyone read any books by Dr. Duc Vuong?
TaylorMade4One posted a topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I hear he has great books on gastic sleeve and the mentality to help you loose weight. -
Thanks!! Are you in that group?

I don't know. I just paid my surgeon $200 for my EDG and $200 to the hospital. They have me on a payment plan to pay off the rest of the estimated bill. THEN billing at my surgeon office says once I am approved she will let me know what my pre surgery amout is. I'll have to pay that before my surgery date. She says approx 800-1000 out of pocket. By the way tge 2600 for EDG doesn't include the anesthesiologists cost...Lord help me
-
Does anyone know or remember the cost of their EDG?
-
True. My max is 6k per year. I don't want to even pay 6k. Lord help me!!
-
The hospital is saying the estimated cost is 2600 after insurance. That seems like a lot!!
-
Hi Ladies!! Need a support group in my area. Anyone out there?
-
But seriously, I don't have a significant other right now. If I did, I would seriously consider having another before the surgery.
