not to be mean, I hope this discussion stays blank. Because that would mean that there were no unsuccessful stories. Bottom line, it is up to the person if they want the surgery to be successful or not.

Sorry your so sensitive. ..it's not being mean ..it's called reality..At the last minute people change their mind about surgery. Sometimes surgeons cancel surgery due to high blood pressure, fever, scar tissue or any other complications.

I don't think it's very encouraging to focus on the negative. Especially on a board that should be about support. I had an absolutely wonderful surgical course. Zero pain, gas,nausea, vomiting, Constipation. I walked in recovery and had no problem sipping Water. I say so repeatedly because I would like to encourage those who are worried or afraid that not everyone has horrible gas pains, etc.... Some of use have completely uneventful hospital course.

Hearing horrors stories might be the thing to scare someone off from a potentially life saving surgery.

Why not focus on the positive?

It's not about being negative it's called being knowledgeable about things that go on in life. You call it a horror story it could be a wake up call for someone else!

My friend surgery was rescheduled due to extremely high blood pressure. A lady did not follow through with her surgery in Mexico. Everybody has something to share!!

Sorry you don't watch the News.

:huh:

There are possibilities of things complications and things going wrong with every surgery. If you had used the search feature you could have found quite literally hundreds of post with exactly that. To create a post just for that seems both useless and redundant.

However if you feel the need to perservate on pain & complications, carry on. I'll continue focusing on the positive.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
