I will, reading up on it, it seems the most likely thing is stenosis. But the camera will confirm this. My wife you is a nurse is livid with what has happened.

Thoughts and prayers for you and your daughter.

@@L.T. I am all choked up and have tears in my eyes as I read your daughter's story. I am a RN, and what this AL done is MALPRACTICE. I can't believe the lawyers say you do not have a case. Are they basing it on the Xelerto alone, and because she didn't die?? I would sue the Dr. directly for malpractice and negligence. He took an oath to do no harm, and although sometimes there's no way to prevent things, her untreated internal bleeding was extremely negligent. Keep calling until you find someone who will listen to you!

I am 2 weeks out, and my recovery has been difficult, so I just can't imagine all of the other stuff she's been going through as well!

I will keep your daughter and you in my prayers..

Please, if you ever need to talk, don't hesitate to send me a message!

You are all so sweet!! She has the stent and feeding tube and they will be very hard to tolerate for the next 6 weeks but she has no choice. Jtraub12 I am new to this site and I don't know if I know how to send a private message. I will try and figure it out.

She still has the stent and is in a lot of pain. 3 or 4 more weeks with the stent. Hopefully the leak will heal this time. Thank you so much for checking on her????

Oh your so welcome. I have heard the stent is uncomfortable and painful. I wish I wasnt on the other side of the world (Australia) and I would take the kids to help out or cook meals or clean house or something! Im a complete stranger but I have her in my thoughts every day and you.

May everyones prayers and well wishes bind together with great medical attentiveness get her over the worst. It will happen!

Love sent

Hope your daughter has an uneventful recovery! I am in Alabama and was curious who her new doctor is?

It wouldn't be related but my original doctor disappeared in the middle of the night, rumor mill went nuts. I googled him and found a lawsuit was won against him in January 2016 - a rny patient of his called him with complications and he didn't tell them to go to the hospital, and they died. The lawsuit was for 3m.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
