my wls journey

[brebee 29]

My journey began with surgery on Oct 30. I know no one wants to hear about complications but I wish I would of known about them ahead of time. I had three tears leaks I didn't realize them until I had an abscess from the liquid I was drinking it all drained into my abdominal region until the pressure built up and spilled out my incesion. I then ended up in emergency surgery and icy and three months of hospital stay. It was very rough. But I finally got my feeding tube out April 13 that's right no food till two weeks ago. Please don't let this change your mind on surgery. I am happy lost 110 lbs 40 more to go.

You're right; no one wants to hear about complications, of course! It's scary, plus we all hate hearing that one of our peers is having a rough time of it because we care about our fellow humans.

But I'm really glad you did tell us about it. Those of us who haven't been sleeved yet or are newly sleeved need to know every bit as much about the risks and failures as we know about the successes. It helps us to assess risk and make informed decisions.

Thank you for helping us along our way!

It sounds as if things are starting to look up for you. I wish you the absolute best outcome going forward.

I realy appreciate that you shared your story....i did sleeve a month ago.n i have aquestion if you dont mind...when the complication starts...n was it cause of eating somthing or it just happen....

It wasn't from any one food or liquid the leaks just allowed everything to dump into the abdominal area. The leaks were surgeon error although they wouldn't admit that
