Post Op Surgeon's Visit 3/30/10
Went to the surgeon yesterday 3/30
and
staples are out;
drain is out
and no longer on IV Fluids at home;
almost feel like a new person. When I sat with him and he explained what happened this is what he told me; Apparently My new pouch that my original surgeon on my original RNY Gastric Bypass did grew back into my old stomach and then reopened - this only happens in 2 - 4% of Gastric Bypass surgeries; and I was just one of them; also he removed a huge incisional hernia that he said was caused by a poor stitch line that just kept pulling because of the weight on my abdomen; he also cauterized two small ulcers and removed 3 inches of my intestine that were not functioning the way they should have been. No wonder I have felt like crap after my surgery; feeling much better now.
Please keep praying for me!!!
