Hey worm and and everyone ....

I'm watching all these YouTube videos on Rny complications... Now I'm really nervous... I'm scared ...

What are the chances of someone coming home with a tube coming out their stomached?

Seeing complications vs hearing them are 2 different things....

My drain was removed before I left the hospital, but I have a friend who went home with 2 for a week - that was normal postop for her surgeon. I do have an incision that got infected, it's been a pain. My surgeon had to reopen it a week after my surgery and I've had to keep it open by packing it so it can drain. It's been open for 2 weeks. I think this is a minor complication, more frustrating than anything.

Everything is going ok except for the incision. Hopefully it will heal soon. My surgery was Oct 1st. Have started soft foods this last week, eager to progress to more variety. Good luck to everyone with November dates!

Yes, my BF came home with a tube for about a week. Again common for her surgeon.

I'm in HR and I always tell people plan for the worst hope for the best. I pray we are all blessed and have easy surgeries (most do) but you should try to have a back up plan if you have to stay home or in the hospital longer. Also, a lot of trouble (at least with the folks I personally know) had come from pushing to much or not following dr orders. Be safe and don't look at those videos! :-).

I know it's so weird how I've waited a whole year to be approved and now that its real I'm super scared not to freak anyone out but dose anyone know death rate some people say 1-50 which I think is crap others say 1-200 and then 1-1500 who the hell is telling the truth because I am really freaking out!!!! I have 5 kids so I'm just trying to get some real answers plus I'm in Scottsbluff Nebraska and my surgeon has done more lap/bands than any other hospital in Colorado,Wyoming ect. But it dose not say much about bypass I know he's done Beriatric surgery sience the 80s and had an award for banding but the hospital it's self has a crappy reputation ;(

Hey Hun

I *think* my Surgeon said it was 3% world wide - he hasnt killed anyone in his 1400 surgeries, so its quite low when done laproscopically. You should raise your issues with your surgeon and they'll be able to give you details, cos hell you have to trust the person cutting into you!

It is a bit scary but I think the odds of me losing a leg because of diabetes is a lot more likely then dieing with this surgery, that is what i Keep telling myself. That right now I am not much good to anybody, so getting this surgery is kinda my last hope to have some good years left to enjoy my grandchildren and to make sure my 2 special needs children are set up independently. I have to be better, I just have to be.
