If I have adhesions will my surgeon be able to do lap?



Recommended Posts

3 years ago I had adhesion surgery along with total hysterectomy.. My surgeon said it looked like someone had pulled out my organs, filled me with super glue and let them set up for ten years. Pretty sure this was due to an abdomina abcess that was really bad and landed me in Johns Hopkins for 3 weeks. I would not allow them to open me up and clean me out - I was so scared.. So after cocktails of many antibiotics I got better and went home on oral antibiotics. Do you think this will effect my successful Laparoscopic surgery? Also had n ulcer but don't have much trouble out of it now...just every once in a while. Really don't want anymore scars..and don't need a long recovery period.

Thanks so much!

Of course I'm not the doctor, but I had tons of adhesions (2 c-sections, hysterectomy, lap-band) and my doc removed them during the surgery with no problems. And this was also having my gall bladder removed and being revised from the lapband to VSG. All done lap. I was chock full of holes, but they were all pretty small.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
