I hope my surgeon didn't make a mistake



Recommended Posts

I had complications after my surgery and require some testing tomorrow. I happened to look at the script for the ct scan, and on it says I had the sleeve done!! I clearly stated bypass. I went in thinking I had the bypass. Now I'm wondering what they did. The day of surgery, my doctor said sleeve and I said no I am a bypass patient. He said oh I see that now. I still have my other part of my stomach. I am really hoping this is an error on the script.

That's so scary. You have a hell of a lawsuit on your hands if he did. But hopefully whomever put printed the CT just wrote the wrong procedure. Definitely go back and find out!

I'm really starting to wonder if maybe that is why I can eat more.

It would make sense but I can't even fathom how a mistake like that happened!

Request your medical records if there's any question

But she is stating the scan is showing the remaining part of the stomach, if that is the case, then she had to have had bypass. They couldn't leave a non-functioning stomach that is not being fed with blood as it would rot then she would be in a world of hurt. This is just my thoughts.

Probably an error with the script.

You need to request you operative report that will state exactly what you had done

They said they made a mistake on the order, but I never got to see the CT.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
