Almost Died Fm Vsg Surgery.



Recommended Posts

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT THIS SURGERY.

DO IT.

MAKE SURE SOMEONE STAYS WITH YOU UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF THE WOODS.

My little Sister had the same surgery. Performed by the same Doctor but a different Hospital.

She is 4'10.

She went fm a size 18 to 4 in one year.

It works.

MAKE SURE SOMEONE SLEEPS OVER NIGHT WITH YOU.

I AM SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE.

I AM ALSO SORRY IT DID NOT WORK FOR ME.

I WOULD PAY $100K TO BE BACK TO A SIZE 5, 6, 7.

WANT PHOTOS?

I agree with Pookeyism! Get proof of your 911 call and get a lawyer! A medical review board of doctors are likely going to be skeptical. They are not really objective.

AGREE with you.

Thanks

Kim, don't give up. Don't act like this is a failure. Go back to the Protein Shakes and gradually back on to solid foods again. Meanwhile, get to another bariatric surgeon. You still have your tool, your sleeve - use it!

I am not saying your lying, but you said you paid for it, but its your right to have a copy of your records. Also, you kept saying you didn't know what happened but you have the records?? How you are putting things is really confusing..thats all I am sayin.

I AM ON FACEBOOK:

Kim Lapara David

If I had something to hide... I would use a fake name.

You can see the before photos.

I refuse to allow any pics when I hit 220!

Thats how much I weighed when I had the surgery.

Lost 40 lbs then gained 20 back.

I hate me. I hate the mirror.

MY LIFE IS AN OPENED BOOK....

I still do not know what happened to me or why.

They said I was bleeding internally.

They said I was out of it for 3 days.

I remember oxygen masks being forced onto my mouth & nose while I was fighting them.

I got the med records fm the hospital.

I paid $350 for the records.

Got the records to a number of Lawyers.

One Lawyer by the name of BYRON CASEY, was kind enough to explain what to do & how to do it. He helped me file everything.

Then his friend, set up the panel & together they "Threw me under the bus & watched each of them roll over on me."

"Oh I had a little bleeding & the Dr. Fixed it."

They said, No records of the 911 calls in the medical records.

I AM NOW ON THIS SITE BECAUSE THE DOCTORS & LAWYERS LIED ABOUT

WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

THERE IS NO HONOR LEFT IN MANKIND.

I AM GOING ON ANOTHER CRUISE, SATURDAY.

I go on cruises every other month.

I have to carry a coffee cup around to throw up in public.

It looks like I am sipping coffee but actually I am spitting up.

"A SPITTER"

NOW I AM WHAT THEY REFER TO AS

'A SPITTER'

Kim,

I am goin go task yo usome questions. You are in no way obliged to respond.

Fisrt let me make a suggestion - take your real name off of this page. You should never make yourself so open. The moderators of this forum cannot ensure your safetly, and do not "confirm" who people are. I could be an ex-felon and I think I could have got alot of info out of you very easy. NOT picking on you. I say it out of concern.

What kind of medication were you on? I don't mean to be rude, but if you did have a serious situation, it may be that you were also having a response to the medication. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks once with a horrible knee accident. I ccame home and thought I had been off work for about 3 days...that was when we learned morphine is not my friend!

There are some contradictions that people following your story are finding confusing, I think.

The inability to make noise but you had a phone to bang up agianst the bars - but if you were out of it enough and panicking, understood.

The doctors did not hear from you for three days, but you were in ICU?

Perhaps you could give us a timeline.

I have to admit your story is interesting and I would like to help you clear it up, if you are hoping for people to be able t follow you.\

Let's assume you meant no harm in reference to 'beast' anything - I for one think you have the right to say that within the context you did.

I was (lbs) on (date) when I had my surgery. The complications started (how far out, before after released) and then (was this when you called 911?). I ended up in ICU (when), and spoke to my doctor's staff (before/after and when).

I hope it helps, it seems like you need to express yourself, and we have all needed to.

IF the story is bogus guys, so be it, if not, you know?

SUSAN, THANK YOU.

I am just trying to tell my story.

When people don't believe you & think that you are lying, it hurts.

it's like being raped & they say your story if fishy. Grrrrrr

Life is hard enough. i have no reason to lie.

I am laying it all out there.

If I was lying... these Doctors & the hospital have it in writing.

They have more money than I do & they could sue me for everything I own.

I am not that stupid to lie then post my lies on line.

Thank You Very Much.

Kim David

Kim, now I am the one to be extremely upset - how dare yo uattempt to use free legal resources if you are going on cruises every other month? Teh system is not to leech off of. those services are for people who need them. It is not an entitlement.

Okay - here I go - You sound like you are upset that you gianed weight back. You really do. Are you following the program? Are you using this not to?

I won't be responding or following. This is amusing but way too much like an annoying Woody Allen dialogue!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
