Plication complications

Recommended Posts

I had the plication march 2012 and I'm in hospital now because of nausea, vomiting blood and abdominal pain. Had a few test done and come to find out my stomach has twisted and there's an obstruction. Not sure why or where we are going from here. They are draining my stomach with a nose drain right now. Since Monday they have drained 1700ml so far. Just took an X-ray waiting to hear back from doctor. Been in hospital sine mon 8:30am about 48 hours. Might have to have surgery.

Going into surgery within hour to see why I'm blocked. Possibly remove the plication, or remove dead stomach if needed.

I'm curious too! Has your surgeon done many of these? What happened? I hope you are ok!

Basically I popped a top stitch and my stomach kinda of folded over itself making an obstruction. Had surgery Wednesday and they took all the stitches out. I'm getting discharged now came in Monday leaving Friday.

My surgeon was Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. My surgeon here called him and he said take the stitches out.

Warning: try not to throw up. Be careful. If that means taking an hour to eat slowly do it. Don't get too full. Chew chew chew. When your not eating drink liquids.

I'm down 51#s probably more now since I haven't eating since Sunday. Ha.

No they didn't remove any of the stomach. It wasn't dead. I now have a "normal" stomach that needs to heal now.

I'm home now. :)

Dr Ariel Ortiz? Why I'd the stitch pop?

Yes Dr. Ariel Ortiz @ OCC.

I had nausea and vomited thats why the stitch popped out.

Be very very very careful not to throw up. Do everything you can not to.

Chew chew chew, eat slow, stay hydrated and obviously don't over eat. My problem is certain smells make me gag sometimes.

      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.
