Unsuccesful surgery ?!?

[HappyNean32 54]

Just read about someone going in for surgery and it not being unsuccessful but did not tell why. Have anyone heard of stories like this and what was the reason? My date is Dec 1st and this makes me worry.

success is up to you. If you make the right choices post op you will be successful.

Obviously complications do happen, but before you panic remember that there is a big difference between surgery failing and the patient failing to use surgery correctly.

[HappyNean32 54]

Yes I understand the difference but she arrived at the hospital for surgery but they didn't go thru with the procedure

Sorry I read your post as having had surgery but not losing weight.

There are reasons for that to happen (safety first!). Sometimes the tests come back and there's something off about one of them that they want it to get better before they will operate. I've also read that if you're an extreme weight it can be difficult for the surgeon to inflate the stomach so they can access the stomach without damaging other organs. The reasons can be as individual as the person having the op.

@@HappyNean32 - rather safe than sorry. If it was not explained then understand that it was probably a medical reason as to why it was called off.

I would rather the surgeon, I trusted with my life, make that call than to go ahead and I have complications

IMHO - Have trust in your medical team, or don't do the surgery.

Well there was one woman on the board who was getting trying to get bypass and the surgeon was unable to reroute the intestine with out causing strain twice so they switched to sleeve the second time

Some patients don't follow their pre-op diet, their liver proves to be too fatty for the procedure and the doctor sews them back up without going through with it. That's for their safety.
