Had surgery 4/26 no complications down feon 234 to 168

I haven't read of any yet.

I was sleeved on 7/4 by Dr Garcia and everything was awesome! He's an excellent surgeon and his team is fabulous!!!

Im stilln having complications n. I was sleeved by Garcia n his team 4/11. I wss good for about 3 weeks. I've been in the hosp almost 3 months with abscesses, they had to convert my sleeve to a RNY after no success with a stent being placed for 6 weeks. During the conversion surgery (not done by garcia) my spleen had to be removed and I lost a lot of blood. They went back in 2 days later I honestly don't remember why. I still have a leak at the base of my esophagus... just out of ICU tonite for 3rd time.

I'm not trying to deter anyone's dicisions but you need so have a plan whwn u get home as to what if something didn't go right. I would def recommend looking local

Oh my gosh - how scary for you!! You and your family are in my prayers. Get well soon.

Is your insurance covering all this?
