I Definitely Regret Surgery.... So Far!



Recommended Posts

I am so glad today seems to be going a little better. Sounds like still a little rough but any little bit better is good!

And that, folks, is one part of why health care in the US is so expensive and so many of you had to leave the country to get surgery.

Malpractice- being put to sleep expecting a VSG and waking up with a full hysterectomy when you're only 24.

No malpractice- having a frustrating but fully disclosed complication from an elective surgery after which various doctors and other medical professionals attempt to work together to solve and make right.

Only in America.

if her medical team is not working with her, malpractice

you mean in the US you can tell them what to do, even though you have no medical experience and are going off something someone said off a message board, sue them if they think it's not a good idea, calling it " not working with you"? and call it malpractice?

i mean, seriously lol. if hes not gonna put gloves on & remove this ****.. i dont wannatalk or see one. lol. my drs refuse to remove thestent because ill get really sick with a leak. they wanted me to stay with it for another week to 10days. they went in to make sure things were ok & fix what they could to give mesome relief. thats not malpractice. as bedhead said, had i woke up with a different surgery than thatsa different story. i knew the complications involved with the VSG and i knew a stent would be the route they would go. GRANTED, they never described noneoftheabove as far as constant nausea & vomitting but from what the drs say, thats not normal & everyone isdifferent.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
