Complicated Surgery

Months ago I posted a topic "Anyone Have A Complicated Surgery". A couple of people on this forum couldn't believe I posted such a horrible topic. I guess they don't think shit happens. Feb 23, 2015 I was scheduled for a Gastric Sleeve procedure. My surgeon woke me up from the anesthesia and stated "Sorry I was not able to complete the procedure" due to scar tissue. I went home the next day confused, in pain and determined to get this procedure done. I had many many useless consultations. A surgeon even suggested I go to Mexico and get the Gastric Ballon ????. Researching the Internet I found lovely Dr Reem Shari ha at NY Presbyterian. She performed my Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty procedure. I am so happy that I am a strong woman I do not allow other people comments, actions or decisions determine my destiny.

What is that procedure? Were you originally going in for a band to sleeve revision?

Feb 23, 2015 I unsuccessfully had the Gastric Sleeve. Today I had the Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty an outpatient procedure.

Sorry to hear people were so negative about your other post. It's probably a knee jerk reaction to the fears about their own surgery. Really glad you found a surgeon you could work with. Congratulations.
