    @numinousvessel I will be looking for positive reports from your in May. I am thinking May 18th will be a very positive day in your life. When this is finished everything else will,selem like a bad dteam

    I certainly hope so. This is exhausting and I am sure you know how that must feel. I do not get on here very often, but I have found the Instagram community is better for me. It's the same handle on here, if you have one. [emoji171]

    Hello everyone. I have had some set backs. I was declined as a patient at tricentennial in Nashville as they believe I have Crohn's disease due to the surgeon's report and all of my test results that span years before I decided to have surgery. My home clinic has specific paperwork about mental illness and declined me as well, but it was terrible. I am now currently back with Dr.Wegner in Memphis. He has agreed to the sleeve. I start my pre-op liver shrink diet again on the 27. My surgery will be may 18. Hopefully, all will go as planned and I can look back on this and not feel so emotional or broken. Thank you all for your words of encouragement.

    I just had my bariatric bypass on 2/26/18... I stayed overnight at the hospital... I’m doing well except for the pain where one of my cuts is... When I’m sleeping and take my pain beds I sleep... But when I wake up the pain is almost unbearable. Just took my pain pill now. Take an hour half to work. I know part of it is gas. Has anyone had the same experience....Help!!!




    This has nothing to do with your surgery and this post does not give any information that is helpful to your situation. Either post a new OP or find a forum and board with the correct information. This is about an aborted rny surgery due to adhesions. It has nothing to do with pain medicine, management, or gas pain.

    I am seeing a bariatric surgeon in my town tomorrow. He usually does not take on patients with bipolar disorder and I am hoping he will make an exception as I have met with him previously about my gallbladder. If it is a no, I have set up another appointment with my original surgeon but it isn't until April 18 and I would get a surgery date then. I also tried to get on with another office that does open surgery that is 4 hours away and after the surgeons had a meeting and reviewed my files, they decided that they would decline me bases on my surgeon's report from the day of surgery. I am not sure if it is caused by my autoimmune stuff, but I think it is chronic inflammation that has caused these adhesions. It has made my head and heart hurt too much to be on here or Instagram because everyone is moving and growing and changing. And here I am, stuck in limbo and on pause.

    I just sent this to biddynz.

    Also, why are you talking about something that is not related to my OP ? There are multiple forums and boards that could answer your question rather than this post about an aborted surgery and adhesions.

    I went on January 16 for gastric bypass. I woke up about an hour after being put under to a nurse in the recovery area telling me they did not complete my surgery because of complications. I have multiple adhesions and my intestines are stuck together so much that my anatomy does not look like it should. My surgeon did not want to complete the surgery until I could be told. He has given me the option to have him do a sleeve or for him to refer me out to someone who still does open bypass surgery.

    I cannot explain the mind f**k this was and the anxiety I am feeling. This is terrible. I knew something was going to happen or be found. I knew that I was right. Something was going to be found that would explain the symptoms I had had for years at this point. These adhesions do not show up on scans of any sort unless you have an obstruction. I have only had one other surgery in my abdomen and it was a laparoscopic appendectomy 10 years ago. He thinks it stems from chronic inflammation and autoimmune **** that I have.

    Has anybody had an open procedure for bypass? What's your experience? Or has anyone been opened up and not finished?

    I am 107 days tobacco free and about 25 free of the patch. I don't think about it anymore. Soda was hard, but I've done it before. I drink about 3 or 4 liters a day of Water a day and 2 glasses of coffee with unsweetened vanilla almlnd milk. I'm planning on getting a deep freeze for my house so I can prep stuff for my husband...otherwise he would literally eat microwaveable or pre made junk all the time. I've been experimenting with recipes that are low carb. I've been also working on my sugar intake as my a1c is a 6.8.

    The drinking thing is going to be hard for me too. I constantly have my bottle of water with me. Working out will have to wait...i have autoimmune stuff that's been flaring since the hurricanes. I do stretch daily, but I plan on going to our local indoor pool.

    I have gotten all of my paperwork and test results in for approval from my insurance! I received a call yesterday from my patient advocate and my next appointment is 11/1 And I will be getting my surgery date! It should be December! So close! Anybody else?

    My name is Whitney. I have an Instagram under this handle but have yet to post anything if anyone would like to add me. I am from Mississippi. My start date of seeing my surgeon was March 15 this year. I will be at St. Francis in Memphis.
