Does anyone have any answeres? urgent friend just had wls and still in ICU Original Post by Lori V. at 6:24 PM PST on 06/10/2006 West Palm Beach, FL - RNY (01/16/2006) Hi everyone-Someone I know just had WLS this past Wed and is still in ICU after originally being told she would come home today prior to going in-the doctors and nurses arent giving any real info to her family re her situation-after surgery she has been vomiting blood and has been bleeding from her bottom-they have told her mother that this could happen and its not anything to be overly concerned about-does this sound normal to any of you? or have you are anyone you have know experienced this after WLS? Please let me know-Im worried for her and am suprised that the hospital isnt giving her family more info-thanks for your help-Lori Hazel

Hi Hazel, the bleeding is something to be definitely concerned about. That is not normal. Hospitals are reluctant to give information because of privacy laws they have to abide by. Usually the patient gives a list of people who can be informed about her condition and the nurses should give the information only to those people. I hope your friend gets better soon. Mona
