What should I ask for in my second opinion



Recommended Posts

Hi guys. As previously posted, my bypass didn't work. I think it's because they left the stoma too big and I have zero restriction. They have been less than helpful in finding a cause for the failed surgery and have started to say things like 'I might have to accept that bypasses just don't work for done people' lol.

They have, however reluctantly agreed to a second opinion and I will make an appointment to see another surgeon soon.

However, I need some advice on what I should ask. He'll have both sets of X-rays that have been done but no other tests have been done and I'm not really sure how to get the best out if my meeting with him.

Any advice? Thanks :-)

New set of X-rays tomorrow. This time they say their machines will be calibrated properly to be able to measure stoma size!

Good luck! Please keep us posted! I feel no restriction after my bypass 8 months ago and pretty much got the blow off from my surgeon....
