Hey there... I've had some similar issues, though I never had to have my uterus removed. I did have my left ovary removed due to a large cyst. Since then everything else has been normal (this was 10 years ago too) but I did get some pretty bad internal scarring from this. The pain was so bad a few year out that my Gyno had to go back in to clean out the scarring and ended up removing the left tube. I do still get some pains during my cycle but its usually handled with Aleve taken on a regular basis during TOM. It hasn't resurfaced enough to needing more surgeries *knock on wood*.

Anyway, knowing this I have to say that I didn't have really any major issues with scarring from my sleeve. I know Dr. Aceves had to remove some scarring my lap band surgery created but it didn't sound like anything more than what a Dr. would normally see in this case. My sleeve has healed up nicely and I don't feel abnormal or any strange twinges of pain at all.

Good luck!!! I hope it all works out for you.

Hi love! What part of CA do you live in?? I live in SoCal/OC. I'm having some of the same symptoms & my doctor aborted my surgery because he said mine was the worse he's ever seen! I HAVE to have this surgery because I have scoliosis and have to have a revision surgery on my neck & back because my entire left side is now in pain....the pain is shooing down my left side of my body & causing my sciatic nerves to hurt me as well...the doctor is afraid if I don't have the surgery, I'll get bigger & bigger & will not be able to walk ... the problem??? NOone will touch me with my condition!!!

ANY advice?? I'm DESPERATE!!! 😩😩

Hi. I'm hoping someone can give me some insight. I was all gung-ho about my surgery. I had al clearances done. I was transparent about all of my prior surgeries. Surgery day came. My surgeon opened me up and closed me after three hours and aborted the surgery due to my having "the worst case of scar tissue I've ever seen" condition. I'm all upset because I NEED this surgery or else I can't have the other surgery I desperately need which is revision surgery on my back (I have scoliosis) where there's concrete causing me to have severe pinched nerves on both shoulders and pain going down my whole left side of my body and resulting in my sciatic nerves to hurt me as well! My orthopedic doctor WILL NOT operate on me with this weight and is afraid if I don't have the sleeve, I'm just going to get bigger and bigger to where I won't be able to walk on my own!! I'm scared & desperately need advice! Someone? Anyone? PLEASE⁉️

I have a lot of scar tissue. My surgery was aborted due to it! 😩 Any advice from anyone that's still here?

Tiff, thanks for asking this question. I have quite a bit of scar tissue/adhesions and I have disclosed all surgeries to my doctor. However, mine are ALL over my belly. Every time they do something in there, it creates a lot of scar tissue and I know everything is probably fused together; however, I believe my surgeon will be able to go in and take care of all of it, soooo hopefully neither one of us will have any worries.

Hi ... I to one aver lot of scar tissue. My surgery was aborted due to it! 😩 What was your outcome?

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!!!
