What Can Go Wrong With RNY Surgery?

Mar 02, 2011

I was operated on in November 2003.  Something wasn't right from the start, I'd had many many other surgeries (way more serious than this) and walked right away from it.  Somehow all the other ladies and gentlemen were up and walking in the hallway with sweatpants on and I wasn't able to get up, I was just too sick.  On the day I was supposed to come home I developed diarrhea and barely made it home without incident since I live in the Maryland suburbs and I was in Inova Fair Oaks Hospital in Virginia.  The diarrhea never stopped, it just got worse and I couldn't get anything down except a tiny bit of ice chips and soon the diarrhea turned an ominous black jello like stool.  By Monday morning my husband took me back to the doctor's office and he immediately had me readmitted to the hospital next door for dehydration and I was later diagnosed as having pancreatitis.  This was only the beginning of things to come involving my pancreas, and what a nightmare it has been.
