Had RNY Jan'11. A week post op I had a bowel obstruction. I've had five since then. I have a gastrostomy tube for drainage. In pain daily. Soooo regret having the surgery.

I hope things better for you soon. are you still in the hospital?

I had three abscesses and had to have two additional surgeries and was on a wound vacuum for two months. I haven't had bowel obstruction but I know how it is to hit some road blocks. Keep strong, reach out to ur loved ones for emotional support. I swear one the problem is resolved u will love ur WLS. Keep being strong.

I have the same thing they took off my vaccum cuz I have dead skin and I have wet to dry dressing it's hard I stay in the hospital for almost 3 at first I regretted it but not now I know ill heal I go back to the doctors tomorrow hope they take out the dead skin
