Hi! I'm hoping someone is still here or someone reads this and can offer me a ray of hope....
So, I was all excited my surgery day had come & was going to finally get sleeved! Monday, January 8, 2018 ... FINALLY!!!
...I woke up in the recovery room thinking I'd actually been sleeved! Everything was successul...I was alive! (I was afraid & thinking 'doomy' thoughts prior to my actual surgery, so that's why I was happy to know that I came out of it alive!) ...
Well, the nurse stood at her computer with her back to me and she said in a taunting-like manner, "You did not have your surgery!" I didn't think I heard her right, so I asked again, and she responded with "Nope!" I became very upset & actually started crying. Dr. Daly came later and told me he couldn't proceed because I had so much scar tisue from my previous surgeries that everything was jumbled together and it was the worst case he has ever seen. He then walked away as I laid there crying without another word!
Later, I was told by Collette (the lady/doctor who was assisting Dr Daly) that they've referred me to a diffeent doctor and there's a new procedure where they fold your stomach over and insert the sleeve down your throat! I'm not interested in a new procedure! I've been reading where one can get the scar tissue removed/fixed...but I don't know where to go for that! I've also read where people have had the same diagnosis, and they still got sleeved!! Collette, I believe, even said there's a more extensive surgery, like 15-16 hours, but they've referred me to someone else, that I have to have a consultation with IN 4 WEEKS!!!! I'M SO DISCOURAGED!!!
