Internal bleeding after Gastric Sleeve Surgery

[UK Cathy 977]

Dear Lord Jesus cover your daughter with your love and care. Take care of her family and relieve them of their sorrow and worry, surround them with love and compassion.

Support the doctors and nurses who are helping her and give her freedom from any pain or worry. X

That is terrible! I am so sorry. Please let me know how the test goes.

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.

Please stay in hospital. May be sign of infection. I say this because I was the same. I am no doctor but had post op complication. Sooner its treated, the better. Take care

@@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.

[jtraub12 7]

I got it!! This site is a little weird.. still trying to figure it all out myself!

[happyaslarry 42]

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????

[happyaslarry 42]

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.
