Another surgery



Recommended Posts

Some may know my story some not. Long story short I was sleeved March 30 2015. It went bad. I had a leak, than an infection and nearly died. 6 months of torture, surgeries and hospital visits and I ended up having a total stomach removal. I was doing great until two weeks ago when they found two hernias from the incision. I go back in tomorrow to have them repaired. My 32 surgery in 11 months. I am scared and nervous and worried and over the pain and suffering. I hope this is the last one. It's tough to keep fighting some days but I know it's my only option. Thanks for those who have supported me this far.

Sounds like you've had a very rough go of it! Hopefully your hernia repair will go well. There's bound to be some pain for a while, but you can get through it. Look at all you've made it through already! Stay strong and take care of yourself.

Oh Guy not more complications? So sorry to hear of these latest complications. Let hope and pray these are the last of them and you can get your health back again. 32 surgeries in less than a year stay strong and you will get through this too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
