Did You Have Complications After Weight Loss Surgery?

I had a pneumothorax during surgery and the surgeon was unable to do the RNY. I woke up to a chest tube and drain with no WLS. The important thing is I woke up ????

Staph infection contracted from hospital.... Equaled 2 bad weeks of pain and a month dealing with an open wound. Nothing my surgeon did wrong just issues at the local hospital. I'm now 4 months out and would do it all over again. Yes the infection sucked BUT the results are worth it all.

Not one thing. Could not have gone better. When I was still seeing my original surgeon I used to joke with him that I wished that I had at least become lactose intolerant or something, so I would have lost more!

I had band to bypass so it goes without saying I had band complications and I would try to talk anyone considering that route out of it.

Now at just over 2 weeks post op with my bypass I have an infection in one of my incisions and the rest of them are looking pretty red and angry. Will see how easily this clears up. I'm hopeful it does.

No complications- was at work six days post op; it was a tiring week but do-able.
