I woke up from my gastric bypass unable to feel my left leg he told me it was from positioning on the table but it turned out some how a disc in my back got messed up really bad either from laying on the hard operating table or from getting moved from table to table. Every time I called him to get advice about my leg he would talk angry to me saying it has nothing to do with him or the gastric bypass surgery. I understand its not his fault but some advice would of been great instead of attitude.

If I need him for something again I'm probably going to see if another hospital will take me.

I've gone through hell since my gastric bypass surgery and it kills me to say that.

Something smells fishy here. A surgeon does not just deal with what ever they are operating on. They should be looking at the patient as a whole.

I would suggest you speak to legal counsel on this. It may be a hospital issue. Not that you would sue, but get your ducks in a row.

My mom has had 3 failed back surgeries and did not act quickly enough on surgeon negligence. When she finally obtained her medical records from the first surgeon his records were so far off it was funny. For example they listed my mom as a non-smoker - and trust me she has smoked a pack a day for many many years.

I don't think I would have a case I've had back problems for 6 years extreme pain but never any numbness I had emergency surgery on the disc they said was the problem since then most of the pain is gone but numbness is still there. The neuro surgeon said it could take a while for the numbness to go away.

My mom did not think she had a case either. Thats why I said just talk to someone. My attorneys will give you a free consolation. It never hurts anyone to talk.

There are meds that reduce your inflammation with being an anti inflammatory. Like tramadol - it would be worth the research. Also there is voltran gel.

do not take tramadol!! my surgeon told me that it goes travelling straight to yoyr bowels and causes them to sleep etc. I had been prescribed them from my family Doctor and was getting really ill on them.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
