Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hello all, I need clarification of SLD...I was told my the PA that works with my doctor that I could not have a staple line disruption because they only not only stapled they transected the stomach...is this true...does anyone know? Thanks Re: Staple line disruption (I forgot something) In a message dated 8/14/2002 3:08:48 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Graduate-OSSG writes: > I forgot to ask what they do about this. Surgery? How long to recover? Was > > it easier than the surgery itself? Is it like starting over again? > ************************************* I was lucky enough to be able to have my stomach transection done lap after an open RNY. It was so much easier, not just because I didn't have another big incision, but because we already know there's life after WLS. We know what & how to eat & drink, you know, been there, done that. I spent hours at the mall the day after I got home from the hospital. How's that for a fast recovery? LOL Good luck, in sizzling NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Hello Baron and welcome back! I used to read your posts on this list and one other one also. That was before and shortly after my surgery 15 months ago. You are an inspiration as always. I know that I have to have an attitude of gratitude and thank God for each day I am blessed to be here. Thanks for your words of wisdom.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 In theory, no. It is very remotely possible that the two stomachs can find each other, reunite in a tiny spot, forming a " bridge " between the two. Called a fistula. Rare. But I'll let those here who have first hand knowledge speak of them, as I do not. The SLD that could occur immediately after surgery is a different matter all together, a post-op " leak " , so that does not pertain to our discussion about your average SLD that we're discussing here.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 As a man in this group I can't help feeling like this is mostly a womens forum. I try to post information based on my medical experience and long term history with CFS but it's as if there is little interest. I do notice however that there seems to be much more exchange between the women. I was sent a link for a group for men with CFS, in my view thses groups nac be helpful but can also segment people by gender, age, etc ... Is it me or am I getting a cold shoulder to make me leave this group to remain a mainly women's forum? Reggie --- wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 Reggie, I for one do not want you to leave the group. The information that you can provide for us is invaluable. I can understand what you are saying and I can understand how you feel that way. Dana Keep posting your knowledge, I am not much of a chit-chatter but I can learn. --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Netwitz.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2002 Report Share Posted August 28, 2002 I will have to jump in here. I don't think anyone can analyze this illness too much. There are many posts on this list that are not based on scientific fact and that just perpetuates " old wives tales. " We need facts on this list and I for one feel that Reggie can certainly provide us with valued information. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
