Almost Died Fm Vsg Surgery.

[Kim David 2]

Kim,

I am goin go task yo usome questions. You are in no way obliged to respond.

Fisrt let me make a suggestion - take your real name off of this page. You should never make yourself so open. The moderators of this forum cannot ensure your safetly, and do not "confirm" who people are. I could be an ex-felon and I think I could have got alot of info out of you very easy. NOT picking on you. I say it out of concern.

What kind of medication were you on? I don't mean to be rude, but if you did have a serious situation, it may be that you were also having a response to the medication. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks once with a horrible knee accident. I ccame home and thought I had been off work for about 3 days...that was when we learned morphine is not my friend!

There are some contradictions that people following your story are finding confusing, I think.

The inability to make noise but you had a phone to bang up agianst the bars - but if you were out of it enough and panicking, understood.

The doctors did not hear from you for three days, but you were in ICU?

Perhaps you could give us a timeline.

I have to admit your story is interesting and I would like to help you clear it up, if you are hoping for people to be able t follow you.\

Let's assume you meant no harm in reference to 'beast' anything - I for one think you have the right to say that within the context you did.

I was (lbs) on (date) when I had my surgery. The complications started (how far out, before after released) and then (was this when you called 911?). I ended up in ICU (when), and spoke to my doctor's staff (before/after and when).

I hope it helps, it seems like you need to express yourself, and we have all needed to.

IF the story is bogus guys, so be it, if not, you know?

I want to answer all of your questions.

I do not take any Rx at all.

I use to take Rx for depression but that made me sleep more.

i do not use illegal drugs.

I use to smoke pot when i was young.

I do not drink. Not even sip champagne.

I DO SUFFER FM DEPRESSION

Can't find the right Rx to help.

The inability to make noise but you had a phone to bang up agianst the bars - but if you were out of it enough and panicking.

I was too weak to scream & could hardly talk.

I tried to hit the hospital table with the phone but was too weak.

It did not make enough noise fm my room to the nurse's station.

Believe me when i tell you I was in so much pain I wanted to die.

It felt like cars were rolling on my stomach...non stop.

no break in the pain what so ever.

It was 911 that called the hospital & had Hospital Security get Nurses to my room.

When i saw the uniform I pointed at him... then I fainted.

The next thing I remember is being rolled down the halls of a hospital fast as possible with the IV bottles swinging. (Just like in the movies) I asked the Nurse where she was taking me. She said, honey, you are going to ICU. I asked why. She said because you are bleeding internally.

next thing I remember is waking up in another room with my sister by my side.

Kim, now I am the one to be extremely upset - how dare yo uattempt to use free legal resources if you are going on cruises every other month? Teh system is not to leech off of. those services are for people who need them. It is not an entitlement.

Okay - here I go - You sound like you are upset that you gianed weight back. You really do. Are you following the program? Are you using this not to?

I won't be responding or following. This is amusing but way too much like an annoying Woody Allen dialogue!

TALK ABOUT JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS....

AMAZING HOW JEALOUS HUMANS ARE.

I EVEN SAID I WOULD PROBABLY DONATE THE MONEY TO CHARITY.

I CAN'T GET A LAWYER TO TAKE THE CASE.

IT'S NOT CHARITY THAT I WANT.

I HAVE MONEY.

I GO ON CRUISES.

I DRIVE A CONVERTIBLE MERCEDES BENZ.

I OWN A BUSINESS.

I WORK & PAY TAXES.

MY DAUGHTER IS AN ATTORNEY & STUDYING INTERNATIONAL LAW IN ENGLAND. SHE IS NOT LICENSED IN LOUISIANA.

I WORKED ALL MY LIFE TO GET WHAT I OWN.

I OWN 2 HOMES & LOST BOTH OF THEM IN HURRICANE KATRINA.

ALL MY GUCCI & CHANEL HANDBAGS/SHOES ALL DESTROYED.

HAPPY NOW.

SINCE KATRINA:

I WAS DENIED BY BOTH INSURANCE COMPANIES

SCREWED BY THE LAWYERS

ROBBED BY THE BANKS

RIPPED OFF BY CONTRACTORS

LOOTED NUMEROUS TIMES

FINNED BY CITY INSPECTORS

LOST EVERYTHING I OWNED

DUE TO THIS... I GOT PSTD.

Bought all new clothes, size 4, then 6, then 8m, 10, 13, 14, 16, 18.

Then had the surgery.

HAPPY NOW.

I DON'T NEED CHARITY.

PRO BONO & THEY CAN HAVE IT ALL TO GIVE TO A CHARITY.

WRONG AGAIN.... I AM NOT UPSET BECAUSE I GAINED THE WEIGHT BACK.... I never lost the weight.

[Amanda 3.0 140]

Much too hard to follow.

[Kim David 2]

How could you talk to 911 and the hospital operator but couldn't yell to get a nurses attention?

I called 911 on the phone.

Do you know how to call the nurses station on a telephone?

You can't even call 411 for information on a hospital phone.

I agree with the fishy comment. I think some things are not being remembered correctly.

The only fishy thing is what really happened to me & why.

Still, I do not know.

They put what they want in medical records.

They are well trained by Doctors & Staff before they write.

Kim - Sorry you went through all of this. This is something that no one should go through. Sounds like you got the wrong end of the deal here. Praying for you that things turn out right.

[canadianprairiegal 31]

I have read this whole thread, all I have to say is their is so many holes in your story, no wonder people are replying the way they are. As for lawyers , they love this kind of stuff, so why u can not get one is beyond me. If this happened to me I would be questioning what went wrong, the part of u wiggling your way thru the bed rails is where I have a prob, if you were so week how could this be. Then you say for 3 days they lost you ,, woke up to sister by your bed, again. Why was she not there to begin with. Then u say your daughter is a lawyer, my gawd holes after holes. Sorry but if you are taking cruises every month or other, then you are not that bad off, physically or sickly. Not like you are hiding under a rock, so to go out in public obviously is not that bad for ya. I know some that will not leave their house because of their insecurities of the way they look, the way u started this thread is soooooo bad, I for 1 that will be having my surgery next week, thought omg, my worst nightmare, they just had. Sorry but like I said way to many inconsistencies in your story, you sound like someone that just wants attention. It is so sad u chose this forum,

[myrori 55]

"Center of Excellence" what a concept???? Consumers of surgery need to be consumers of information. Sounds like a hater to me!

One would like to think that they are "in good hands" when they are a patient in a hospital. After all that is the place where Ambulances rush people to when they need medical help.

Not a hater. Fed up with lies & deception.

wow this went from poor Kim..... to this quickly from one person saying it sounds fishy......WOW!!!!!

Sweetie, I do not need attention.

All I did was post my story, today.

First time since June 10, 2010.

I don't go around people that knew me when I was young & thin.

I know what they say & think.

One friend looked at me and said, "It's ok, you are still beautiful."

I wanted to die. he was saying, it's ok that you got fat but...

Grrrrrrr

People say, you had the surgery? Obviously it did not work.

People are mean to fat people.

It's true. I know it. I know how it feels.

My favorite reply is...

Guess What?

This Big Fatty don't even want you.

You got turned down by a Big Fatty.

Grrrrrrrrrr

If there are holes in my story... it's simply because I have jumped fm one scene to another. I have truthfully answered everyone's question & have been commended, insulted, accused of lying, etc.

All I did today was try to tell my story.

I regret posting on this page.

All I did was offend people.

Imagine how I feel being victimized once again.

I can handle it.

I'm a survivor.

Didn't get to where I am staying home eating bon bons.

yes, my daughter is an attorney.

She has a JD. She is studying International Law in England.

She does not want to practice law in Louisiana.

Even though she graduated fm Loyola Law School in LA.

She can't help me with malpractice in Louisiana.

5 Law firms turned down this case because it will cost too much money to prove malpractice & they are personal friends but it's business. Not enough money.

No permanent damage done to get the money card.

If I got paralyzed, lost a limb... they would take the case.

[myrori 55]

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT THIS SURGERY.

DO IT.

MAKE SURE SOMEONE STAYS WITH YOU UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF THE WOODS.

My little Sister had the same surgery. Performed by the same Doctor but a different Hospital.

She is 4'10.

She went fm a size 18 to 4 in one year.

It works.

MAKE SURE SOMEONE SLEEPS OVER NIGHT WITH YOU.

I AM SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE.

I AM ALSO SORRY IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME.

I WOULD PAY $100K TO BE BACK TO A SIZE 5, 6, 7.

WANT PHOTOS?

YES

[Kim David 2]

wow this went from poor Kim..... to this quickly from one person saying it sounds fishy......WOW!!!!!

I think it was a big mistake telling my story on this site.

All I can do is LOL........................................................

[Kim David 2]

WHAT WOULD I HAVE TO GAIN BY LYING?

THIS SURGERY WORKS.

IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME & I AM ONLY TRYING TO FIND OUT WHY.

I PUT IT ON HOLD UNTIL THE MED. REV. PANEL SAID THE HOSPITAL & DOCTOR DID NOTHING WRONG.

THEY LIED.
