I am getting myself geared up to go through the pre-requisite process for the Sleeve again, Let me explain what I mean by again.
I was cleared for surgery pending blood work, I did the nutritionist visits, exercise classes, meetings with psychiatrist, and Dr. I was finishing up the blood work when it all came to a halt.
My Aunt went in for the surgery and had severe complications.
she went home the following day like normal however 2 days post op she is taken to the emergency room in severe pain they giver her pain meds and tell her its normal. 4 days post surgery she is rushed back to the ER and they check her in she has emergency surgery she has become septic, they do the surgery to fix everything clear out all the infections and what not. she is stabilizing..... now we are on surgery #2... one day post op she is still spiking fevers, BP is spking, and O2 is dropping they take her in for all kinds of scans stomach is still leaking, they try a second surgery.... long story short she was in the hospital for a total of 10 weeks and 1 month in rehab and had a total of 3 surgeries to stop the leaking.
All of this made my fears of surgery come true and 100% worse than what i thought.
it has been several months now she is doing great and I am reconsidering restarting the process.
I joined this group for support and feedback hoping once I speak with a surgeon and they address my concerns that I will be 100% ready to take the leap back into it!!
