Well I'm choking down the last of this stomach/intestine cleanse that the surgeon prescribed to me. Btw it's so gross! Surgery is at 9 am and I'm so nervous. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Wish me well!

Hey guys. I am in the er now. Been here since 4pm (Its 7:15 now) I've been feeling very weak' date=' dizzy and sweating all day & last night and there's a huge knot? in the spot where the drain was. I consulted with a lawyer today and he claimed he couldn't do anything because I probably signed a consent form b4 surgery Which prob stated the surgeon would do open RNY if he couldn't do it laparoscopically for whatever reasons. I told him I understood that but my problem was that I wasn't told it could be an option or even informed that it was done to me even after the surgery. Like it was a big secret. I'm gonna try and find a few more lawyers to consult with. I really appreciate you guys for supporting me through this. I really do! Last night I felt so depressed and just wanted to die. Thank you my friends.[/quote']

I haven't seen any updates! How are you doing??? I've thought of you often since I saw your first post-op message. Please let us know how you are!!

Hey AmandaD! I'm doing a little better. I stayed the night in the hospital when I went to the er. I was dehydrated and needed fluids. The er staff was appalled that I was discharged so early and I'm having a meeting next week with some director. Thanks for thinking of me! Between you guys and my husband I feel like I have someone to talk to! Despite it all, I'm down 14 lbs since Monday!

Yeah. Now that is some good news I like to hear!!! Also, They should be appalled. I hope your husband will be with you during your mtg. You're so lucky to have him standing beside you. He must be a very good man!!!

Great to hear you are doing better! I am glad they took care of you in the ER. Hopefully this will never happen again, maybe even some disciplinary action taken against the doc. Keep us updated!
