Stitches Infected (Caution: Long)



Recommended Posts

Sorry you had to endure that. You should not have deal with their ignorance along with feeling like crap. Do they not think anyone that has surgery in the US ever gets infections? It happens daily. Oh well, some people are too closed-minded to be breathing the same air as us. I hope your husband changed their attitudes real quick and if not, you should report them. They don't deserve the licenses they are "working" under.

Hope you feel better soon.smile.gif

Thanks so much everyone for your support and yes hubby really was my knight in shining armour again! I am feeling better after being ordered by hubby to bedrest and the antibiotics seem to be working against the infection. He will be taking the advice of Beadingnurse and others and filing several formal complaints against both the hospital and surgery center. We shall see what becomes of it. Yes it pisses me eoff as well and now that I am feeling better, I would love a face to face meeting with all parties involved to give them a few choice words. But I am just thankful I did get treated and will do as advised and let the correct authorities handle them.

I just wanted to say thank you. While you can't change what happened to you, you can force the offending parties to be accountable. Your actions will probably save others from the same type of mis-treatment.

Agreed! Thanks for not letting such inappropriate behavior slide. It should not be tolerated anywhere.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
