I had my gastric sleeve done Jan 3. I was so excited the day of surgery. I said my prayers like 3 times before surgery. Everyone knows the surgery suppose to be like 45 mins. Well my surgery ended up being almost 3 hours. Turns out the doctors nicked my artery before they even started doing the sleeve. I started bleeding like crazy so one of the people had to put there hand in me to try to stop the bleeding while another person had to cut me from between my breast to my navel. They had to react fast because I almost died. Ive lost 30 lbs but i also almost died so i im happy i know god because without his mercy and his grace i would be gone right now. I had to get a blood transfusion and then they did my sleeve. So my poor stomach looks a mess. Im just happy to be alive. I was in the ICU for one day n didnt get out of the hospital till 4 days later.

Wow! That is a very scary story!! Glad you are here to tell us about it... Hope things are going well for you now!
