I hope the problems are resolved soon. If they determine you need a second surgery lets pray it will be the end of all your difficulties. There are a couple of OSSG groups for people with complications. I did a search under ossg complications and found three, there may be more. They are: ossgwound comp; ossg gone wrong; and ossg evidence ( not sure about this one but the description says "Sharing actual hard data and evidence about WLS surgeries and complications and postoperative needs. Nobody here is trying to sell you anything"). You could check these out. They may be of help Thinking of you. Janet M 8/15/02 "Within me is a peacefulness that cannot be disturbed." Amy,

I have had a lot of complication - ulcer where there intestines meets up with the stomach, stricture in espoghgus (sp?), stomach not emptying (bc it's not contracting properly) - and so on. Seems each time we cleared up one problem another sprung up. Despite all this I have maintained my sanity - and can't complain about 100 pound weight loss. All of this though has wreaked some havoc on my health - clearly and I have not been able to work. Right now we are discussing a 2nd surgery due to a stricture in my intestines as you exit my stomach. I have an appt. tomorrow for a 2nd opinion and then decide if a 2nd surgery will help me. Right now I can not tolerate any food and have been only doing liquids. I have yet to read about anyone else having this many problems - individually yes; but not combined. Nor have I have heard of anyone having them to go back in; bypass the intestines again and reattach - has anyone out there had this second surgery? I just <!--more--> wanted some input from all of you. I have been lurking on here since my surgery in Dec. and found it to be so useful - thanks to all. Amy in Florida I am about 6 months out.
