Anxiety and getting sleeved

[ShelleyHolt 5]

NO rerouting the small intestine!!! That was the part that totally freaked me out! So I'm a bit relieved on that one. Who knows what they may need to do once in there, so that scares me a bit!!

Well let's just keep our fingers crossed and positive thoughts running through our heads that they won't run into any issues!

Oh no! Why the sudden surgery?

They did a full Endoscopy yesterday in the main OR and my stomach is totally twisted and kinked, in order to fix is revision is required. This is VERY UNCOMMON and happens in less then .02 % of sleeve patients. :/ I just happened to be in that lucky percent, ugh

OMG..... that scares me so much. Im so sorry to hear that your stomach twisted. I havent been sleeved yet but its things like that that worry me so much because I used t have the lap band and i was told that the chance the band would slip is very low, like 1-3% well guess what? mine slipped, i had another surgery to fix it and it slipped again. I was told they cannot say why it slipped, sometimes they just dont know BUT that it can be because I lost weight fairly fast and sometimes things shift inside and things can happen. So Im super worried that now my stomach will twist!!! ugh...... im scared

Don't be, the chances are EXTREAMLY rare. Also realize I lost over a hundred pounds in less then five months which is really quick weight loss, and that weight loss effected my stomach twisting. The chances of this happening are so rare it's not even funny, especially in a women since women lose slower then men. So don't stress it

Before and after pic. Weight loss over well over 100 since day of surgery.
