Wow I am so sorry. You are right, the risks are low but when they happen to you, it's 100%. My heart really goes out to you. Thanks for sharing and I wish you all the best.

I'm horribly sorry that all this happened to you. what a disappointment and a dreadful experience. I hope you are now feeling a little better.

I hope you consider filing a formal complaint with the medical board. It's people like you who file a complaint, that have this information documented on the physician's record, so that when we all research a doctor we can see that he made mistakes in the past. It helps those who are considering a doctor to make an informed decision on that doctor. That way no one else will have to go through what you did. Are they making you pay the $25,000?????

Shelly what a horrible thing to have gone thru all because you wanted to live a healthy long life! Thank-God you are on the road to recovery!

I would take the advice of aubrie and either seek legal counsel or make a report to the medical board. I would certainly request all your records! I hope you weren't a self pay. Perhaps if you still want to proceed with weight loss surgery in the future you might consider the sleeve.

All the best!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry you had such an awful experience. As with any surgery, complications are always possible and it is important we know the risks as well as the benefits.

:eek:So sorry to hear you went through all that. I am like some of the others in asking you to post the doctor's name and the hospital, it may save someone else from what happened to you. We never know unless brave people like you tell us.

I pray for you a speedy recovery.
