loving.life 110 Posted January 15, 2014 I cancelled my surgery for vsg scheduled jan.23rd.2014. My friend had her vsg surgery on dec 27 th 2013. She was doing ok the first two weeks. This past Sunday she ended up back in the hospital in severe pain. She ended up very very sick. She is on life support. The surgeon went back in and found she was bleeding everywhere. They told her family to say goodbye. She is still on life support. They had to revive her three times and had no pulse for ten min. I know it is very rare to have such severe complications, but it can happen. She is young and healthy. Has a family and just wanted to try and lose weight. God bless you whatever you may decide. I don't understand why her doc didn't do post op CBC. Mine has twice to check blood for infection and new bleeding Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
