Surgery in the morning



Recommended Posts

Wow. This is all horrible. I hope you now can get the help you were supposed to have been given in the first place. I think that is the complaint: the hospital and staff were negligent in performing their duties.

Hey guys. I am in the er now. Been here since 4pm (Its 7:15 now) I've been feeling very weak' date=' dizzy and sweating all day & last night and there's a huge knot? in the spot where the drain was. I consulted with a lawyer today and he claimed he couldn't do anything because I probably signed a consent form b4 surgery Which prob stated the surgeon would do open RNY if he couldn't do it laparoscopically for whatever reasons. I told him I understood that but my problem was that I wasn't told it could be an option or even informed that it was done to me even after the surgery. Like it was a big secret. I'm gonna try and find a few more lawyers to consult with. I really appreciate you guys for supporting me through this. I really do! Last night I felt so depressed and just wanted to die. Thank you my friends.[/quote']

I haven't seen any updates! How are you doing??? I've thought of you often since I saw your first post-op message. Please let us know how you are!!

Hey AmandaD! I'm doing a little better. I stayed the night in the hospital when I went to the er. I was dehydrated and needed fluids. The er staff was appalled that I was discharged so early and I'm having a meeting next week with some director. Thanks for thinking of me! Between you guys and my husband I feel like I have someone to talk to! Despite it all, I'm down 14 lbs since Monday!

Yeah. Now that is some good news I like to hear!!! Also, They should be appalled. I hope your husband will be with you during your mtg. You're so lucky to have him standing beside you. He must be a very good man!!!

Great to hear you are doing better! I am glad they took care of you in the ER. Hopefully this will never happen again, maybe even some disciplinary action taken against the doc. Keep us updated!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
