OK so the elephant in the room. Is this common with plication? I know true sleeves can get leaks if they don't heal up properly. Anybody know?

Wonder how she is doing?

Hope she's doing well. Does anyone know who performed the surgery? Her situation is very scary and my thoughts are with her.

This is totally scary. I have never heard of this happening before. How did she get a hole in her stomach and part of her stomach die? Was she plicated too tightly? This surgery has been advertised as so safe with few if any complications. I guess it was just a matter of time. I feel so bad for her and pray she survives this. It sounds like her whole abdominal cavity is infected by the stomach contents. I do hope we get an update soon. I have been thinking of her all the time. It's good we have this group to care about one another!

This is the first time I've ever heard of this happening with Plication surgery. All of them have risks (band can cause scar tissue, slip, etc, Sleeve can have leaks from staples, and of course the Gastric Bypass I think has the highest risk.)

This is really baffling, and I wonder very much what caused her complication.

We pray for them and hope to hear some good news soon. Please keep us updated.

I am so sorry you are so sick. I will be praying for you to have a fast and complete recovery. Please update us on your status when you can. I am scheduled to have this procedure done this Friday and this really scares me.

Anyone have an update on how she is doing? I'm sure her hubby is just overwhelmed with all this.

I know I have checked a few times to see if she has been on line or posted anything new... nothing for a while...

Very worried...hope she is recovering and healing.

Since I did not perform JG's surgery I cannot speculate what may have happened. We certainly have not seen this in our plication patients and complications like this should be incredibly rare because there is no stapling or cutting of the intestines involved. I echo the thoughts and prayers sent by the members of this forum that JG have a complete recovery.
