what to do?

Ok so here is my story, I originally had gastric bypass Jan 7 2007, I weighed 292 and 4 years later I had my first esophagus stricture due to a stomach ulcer, my weight was normal and other than my stricture I was able to eat anything I wanted, I recovered from the ulcer an stricture and went on as normal until last year 28th Feb I had another ulcer which caused a small bowel stricture, doctor took me in for surgery to remove the ulcer, I weighed 161 lbs day of surgery, an when I awoke from anesthetic the doctor said he noticed my pouch was stretched out and revised it for me, since then I am barely a 100lbs and everything I eat including soup hurts and causes gases burping and vomiting, I throw up at least 2 times a day from attempting to eat, ...I just want to go back to normal, ...how can a doctor revise my surgery without consent?

  • Revising your pouch is not at all life threatening. I would go seek a second opinion and go get legal help, never have I heard of a doctor making such a drastic decision without a patients consent.

  • Hell no, you need a top notch lawyer. As a nurse I can tell you there is no precautionary measure without consent!

  • Don't apologize for coming here to talk. Yes it's gastric sleeve but all people in need are welcome, at least I could assume. Seek legal help . I will say a prayer for you!

And you can talk to us even if your surgery was different.

I am talking to an attorney today, but since the revision and rapid weight loss its sent me into secondary amenoria ( where my menstruation stops) bc my body is basically telling me I'm to unhealthy to bear child, also had many visits for malnutrition vitamin deficiency and dehydration, now dealing with major pain bc of muscle loss and lack of vitamins, can't find a doctor here locally who will actually prescribe me something other than ibprofen an anti inflammatory meds given past ulcers and gastric says I can't have either of those,...

It's been a few days; how did it go at the lawyer's office? I hope you to feeling better soon; please keep us posted. Take care!!

Amazon's post usually tend to be negative. I usually ignore her. No worries. I'm wondering if there's an update as well.
