I had a horrible surgery and i believe there is malpractice involved. Wanted to see if anyone has contacted an attorney and if they were successful?? And if possible get a few leads. Im 6months post op w my bypass and still not up to par. After a 42 day hospital stay and 2 surgerys later and now 6 ER visits i have no idea where to start. If im not physically sick im mentally and emotionally broke down from dealing w this surgery that came so close to killing me. Just lost :(

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but keep in mind that it is not malpractice to make a mistake. The standard for malpractice is did they make a mistake that a reasonable physician should not have made. Check with a local attorney, but unfortunately mistakes do happen and I am so sorry to hear that you are not well.

It is not ok for you to suffer because of a mistake. It took me a long time to find and attorney because my surgery was on an Army base. After my surgery I spent months in icu, lost my entire stomach, remnant , pouch and part of my intestines. I've had 27 surgeries and now have to get my nutrition and calories through a central line. Well I won my lawsuit. If you aren't comfortable with your outcome search until you find and attorney. Keep track of details dates and medical records. You will need it

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
