I had a horrible surgery and i believe there is malpractice involved. Wanted to see if anyone has contacted an attorney and if they were successful?? And if possible get a few leads. Im 6months post op w my bypass and still not up to par. After a 42 day hospital stay and 2 surgerys later and now 6 ER visits i have no idea where to start. If im not physically sick im mentally and emotionally broke down from dealing w this surgery that came so close to killing me. Just lost :(

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but keep in mind that it is not malpractice to make a mistake. The standard for malpractice is did they make a mistake that a reasonable physician should not have made. Check with a local attorney, but unfortunately mistakes do happen and I am so sorry to hear that you are not well.

It is not ok for you to suffer because of a mistake. It took me a long time to find and attorney because my surgery was on an Army base. After my surgery I spent months in icu, lost my entire stomach, remnant , pouch and part of my intestines. I've had 27 surgeries and now have to get my nutrition and calories through a central line. Well I won my lawsuit. If you aren't comfortable with your outcome search until you find and attorney. Keep track of details dates and medical records. You will need it

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
