I Lived Through This Surgery, My Sister Didn't.



Recommended Posts

Although heartbreaking, it is also a beautiful story. I feel the immense love you have for your sister in your post. You are the perfect spokesperson for her. Continue to tell, both yours and her story. Most of all love her children, they will need it for sure.

May you find peace and may your entire family heal.

Much love.

Thank you all for your kind replys and personal messages. We have gotten super close as a family through all this, and we are loving our kids (mine and hers) with all we have. We are so blessed to have family to lean on in this time, but I do want to take the time to share her story (and mine) to bring awareness to the reality of this big choice so many make each year.

Lyndsey,

Thank you for sharing your family's story. I agree it is important for everyone considering this surgery to realize that there are risks. Each person should consider those risks, but they can't do that without stories such as yours, in addition to the stories of those that suffer complications that do not result in loss of life, and the lucky ones who do not have any complications.

I am thinking of you and your family.

Lynda

I'm so sorry for your loss

As a father siting in a hospital with my daughter having surgery today this is certainly a reality check

Could you please tell us which hospital your sister was treated in

Based on your writing she was mistreated in a number of ways

Please share

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
