Incisional Hernia After Gastric Bypass Surgery

[Peter111 2]

I had my gastric bypass done in 2019, I had come across they unusual situation after the bypass surgery. Right after the surgery I was brought down to the ward where I was supposed to spend the night after the surgery. However, when the doctor told me to drink some Water after the surgery I started vomiting and kept vomiting a lot and all that was coming out was red color kind of blood and all the toxic. The nursers informed the doctor about my situation and they found out that my stricture was opened up to the next thing you know I was again back into surgery ready open beyond that all the toxic was leaked ed into my other organs. After my second surgery I was knocked out unconscious and woke up after 2 months. It was quite rough for me because this situation is very rare it this kind of surgery. Yes for 4 months I was in bed in the hospital, due to that I had lost all my muscles in my lower body and I could not walk after that I had to have a lot of physiotherapy to help you get back walking that took another year.

Well I had to go to all of that and right now I have a incisional hernia for which they said I would need another surgery however right now they cannot go thru because its quite complex and they are afraid of performing another surgery cost it's very complex and might cause under the leakage.

I would like to use this platform to find answers how to solve my existing problem.

I hope someone out there can help me get some answers.

Sorry to here this, you have been through the mill and back again. I hope you get the answers you need from the community here. I imagine you will have a lot of scar tissue and need a mesh insert. As they have said not the easiest surgery and many surgeons won't take this work on.
