Oh my!  I hope that doesn't happen to me! Linda

Never thought that this situation would happen to those losing weight! I will be sure to watch for any sharp and unexplained abdominal pain! Thanks for the info!

Yeah, I thought I'd file  his away in the old memory just in case...

This actually happened to a friend of mine that had surgery.  Only it happened to her at about 9 months out.  It can actually happen to anyone who loses a lot of weight.  Just like the author says.  My friends actually almost died, mostly because she ignored the warning signs. My friend was in the hospital for some time.  A feeding tube in her old stomach and still having to eat.  She looked like death.   She's fine now... and looks great ... and even after all of that she said she'd still have gone through with the surgery.  But I do think it's important for all of us to remember.  \ Thank you for positng this!  it's an important reminder!
