Look out for Roux-en-O...yes...Roux-en-O
Apr 15, 2010
Today is Thursday, April 15, 2010. I had my surgery as planned on February 24, 2009. All I can say is my life will never be the same. The surgeon "misconstructed" my Roux-en-Y and I ended up with what is called a Roux-en-O. Essentially what it is a closed loop system. My stomach was not connected to my intestine so it essentially exploded. I have spent months in hospitals. My sister saved my life by getting out of the care of Dr. Taylor and having me transferred to Methodist Hospital. I have been under the care of Dr. Robert Davis since my transfer. He has saved my life as well. I have nothing bad to say about Dr. Davis. The man is a saint! He has taken my incredibly messed up body and put the pieces back together. Believe it or not my saga has not ended. After going for almost a year without eating solid food, having huge open wounds, IVs for TPN, and fistulas I am just now starting to feel like a human again. This last year has been a nightmare. I have undergone in excess of eight MAJOR operations. Yes, I have lost weight, big deal. I forefitted my health. I have been unemployed for over a year and now my only income is Social Security Disability. Believe me when I tell you that is not enough to live on.
