tryingtohelpmymother 3 Posted September 10, 2014 My mother has been been in the hospital for 4 weeks and had been fighting for her life it has went from one extreme to the other. The hospital said they have been seeing frequent complications from patients having this procedure in Mexico and don't recommend it be done. Her small intestine was nicked and infection had set up, she has had several procedures and surgeries done as a result of this complication she even stopped breathing for 3 minutes but through this all God has her protected.

finediva 979 Posted September 10, 2014 I'm so sorry to hear that she has not made a full recovery as yet. It must be very difficult for her, and for you as her support. I will continue to pray for her for her recovery to be speedy and complete, and for you to continue to find the strength to be by her side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kindle 8,667 Posted September 11, 2014 So sorry to hear about your mother's complications. I know she's been having a hard time ever since coming home. Could I ask who her surgeon was? Is the hospital you are at seeing the same type of complications from the same surgeon? I had a friend who had lap band surgery in Idaho Falls, ID and the surgeon nicked her intestine (so much for a less invasive procedure). She ended up being life flighted to Salt Lake City within days when she became septic. She was in and out of the hospital for months. Her experience is what sent me to Mexico to a surgeon with more experience and no major complications. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tryingtohelpmymother 3 Posted September 11, 2014 Yes notified surgeon would not respond for a long time she had to have emergency surgery so at that point that hospital had to do what was best for her no the surgeons have not been involved they even denied that something was wrong with her stated the surgery went well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kindle 8,667 Posted September 11, 2014 So do you mind sharing the name of her surgeon? I think it would be important for others that are researching Mexico options to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
