Those are the dates I was in UMC. When it shows me discharged it was to a rehab hospital and then back to UMC every time they tried to put my intestines back together. That entire time I was fed by IV because my stomach wasn't attached to anything. My abdomen was open to my intestines and a back wound appeared while in a coma in ICU. I underwent daily wound dressings that required 10mgs of morphine which didn't even begin to touch the pain I endured during those torture sessions. What possible "agenda" could I have for making all this up. I have horrible PTSD. I have nightmares every night. My life will never be the same. Ohhhh how about a picture of my stomach??? 

My "agenda" is to let people know that things like this do happen. I can prove any and everything I put in that post. I was in the hospital from 10/21/08 to 10/12/10. Which part are you doubting? I want to be sure I provide the correct documentation. 

I'll bite. Prove it. I know complications occur, but you just joined and then posted this???? You sound like you have an agenda here. Complications can and do occur but the overwhelming majority of us do not have them. It is important to hear stories of people who have complications but then we all get to make our own decisions.

In October of 2008 I had the gastric bypass. I was released from the hospital October of 2010. 2 weeks short of 2 years. I lost everything, my career, my husband and my immune system. Don't believe you can lose your immune system? I get pneumonia a minimum of 10 times a year. I receive IV's every 3 weeks to replace the part of my immune system contained within the blood that is now gone? Doubt me? I can prove it all. Think carefully before you do this surgery. Is being skinny worth losing everything that is important to you. The very things you live for.
