emergency herniated bowel surgery

Omg Karen that sounds awful!  I'm glad you're on the mend.

I wonder how common this is.Does anyone know?I'm pre-op and that's just scary.

Yes, it is scary.  I honestly didn't want to scare anyone with my post, but I think it's important to share all of the journey, not just the highlights.  People need to know the risks and make an informed decision about having WLS. 

I don't know how common it is, but I'm sure that someone at your bariatric centre can give you that information.  Or someone on the forum might chime in with that info. 

Just to reiterate: I received fabulous care.  And I still don't regret my RNY!

Glad to hear you are on the mend and that you were able to advocate for your health issues.

Take care...Marilynn

 So sorry you went through all that!  So glad to hear you are recovering and it was discovered!

Om my gosh, Karen - so sorry to hear about this.  Wishing you a very speedy recovery!

Sorry to hear about your surgery but glad that they were finally able to establish what was causing the pain and do the repair. 

Rest and heal; don't worry about the rest.  All the best, Muriel

 Wising that recovery is speedy.
