bw5221 3 Posted January 18, 2017 Hello, I am starting well been working on my Jernory for a few months now. I seen my surgeon today and he told me that I might have to much stomach wall. This is upsetting. I am currently 5'9 and 488. I started at 517lbs. Has this happened to any one else before. And any suggestions would be wonderful. I am really nervous as I am putting up all this money and I don't want to wake up and be like sorry can't do it. I am getting the sleeve done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bleonhardt 46 Posted January 19, 2017 Hi there! Good for you for wanting to take yourself on this life changing journey! What I heard about the stomach wall being too thick is that then they have to do an actual incision and go in to do the surgery and can not do it via laparoscopic surgery. Did your surgeon offer you any other options if your stomach wall is too thick? They can do testing to make sure this surgery is doable for you!! I wish you all the best!!!!
