Dr. Jossart is THE BEST!!! He did my surgery and saved my life many times when I got so upset over my father's death, vomiting hard caused me to perforate. 1) Don't vomit after VSG. 2) Don't take liquid Vitamins right after VSG. 3) If you feel like you've perforated, get your surgeon on the phone and get back to the hospital asap. 4) If the ER doctors won't listen, make them talk to your surgeon. I spent 4 months in the hospital totally npo because the idiots at Kaiser put a drain into my abdomen and put it through the stomach. For months, they couldn't figure out why it wasn't healing. Dr. Jossart had me sent back to him and he had a stent put in to get me healed finally. He's got the most experience, the hospital is the best, beautiful views and he's never lost a patient!!
