My surgery was unsucessful...I was admitted at 8:30 am in the morning and ready for 9:30 am. The surgeon made 6 incision outside my stomach area and inserted the larpoc. equipment with air. Then they had to abort the srugery because my heart became weak and my heart rate was so low. My blood pressure went down to 70/40. They pulled the plug and the next thing I knew my surgeon was in the recovery room and told me that he almost lost me because of my heart and pressure. I was devastated and I started to cry. I don't understand why this happened to me? My Cardiologist told me that I was fit to do this surgery and he cleared me. After that they kept me in the hospital for evaluation. They ran some tests on me. They took many blood drawing, a heart cat scan, and 2D echo. All came out negative. Even though the procedure wasn't done I was in pain and haven't eaten for 3 three days. Today they discharge me and I have mild gatric pain. The doctor said to me to schedule an appointment for Monday to discuss my condition and to reschdule my surgery. I'am so hurt and tramatized I don't know what to do now. I guess it was bad luck for me. I'm home know and I'm still crying. I can't believe I had a brush with death.

Be strong no matter....god bless you..he pulled you out to set you aside for a greater plan. Trust you will get through this

TY Milan. My family from Puerto Rico was crying for me. I told them to keep the faith in me and to send me their prayers. I've been so sore all day because the hospital kept me for those extra 2 days and the nurses kept giving me Heparin injections for the blood clots. Is incredible how I look myself in the mirror to see those 6 incisions closed up with those staples and the surgery was never done. Is scary to think I could of not been here today.

Please be happy that they stopped in time before things got worse!! It is much better to be bigger and alive than skinny and dead. Hopefully they can figure out what went wrong and everything will got fine in the future.

Omg that is so scary! I'm glad they were smart about it and stopped the surgery, but I can't even imagine how disappointed you must be. So what's the next step?

I statrted with 278lbs and went down to 264lbs for surgery. The doctor and dietician told me to lose 10 pounds before the surgery and they gave me a pre op diet to do. 2 days before I did liquid diet and made sure my stomach was empty. I'm going to see the doctor this week to discuss what happened that day and they need to remove my staples. I'am so depressed that all I do is cry. I hope I don't have to do all the pre testing or medical clearances all over again :-(

Very sweet of you...thank you. Right now I'm feeling better but I don't think I could go back to work this week. I tried driving today and every time I hit a pot hole I feel like my stomach is going to blow open. I'm having ear aches and I'am so depressed. I can't even eat or sleep. I have an appointment this week with the doctor to discuss what happened that day. It wasn't meant to be. But I will keep on board and I will keep posting :-)
