Guest guest Posted April 10, 2001 Report Share Posted April 10, 2001 > Hi, Ellen: Thanks for the clarification. I know that the BPD/DS cards that > we are given at Mt. Sinai list obstruction as a possible post-op problem.... > > laparoscopic BPD/DS with gallbladder removal> Dr. Gagner/Dr. Quinn assisting/Mt. Sinai/NYC> January 25, 2001 If you don't mind me asking just a couple more things, I happened to notice that you mentioned that at Mt. Sinai, they gave you cards about the possible post-op complications, well I was wondering if you wouldn't mind explaining some of the more serious things, and how they can be prevented, or what the percentage is for the risk?? I am sure that there are others who would be interested in knowing this to help aide in the decision of surgery. Or if there is a site that gives out accurate information to which you or someone might refer us pre-ops? One more thing, no one really answered about the nutrition, ................. If a DS. post-op is taking their supplements on a regular basis as should, arethey still at a higher risk for these things to occur compared to an averageNON-WLS person??? Thanks everyone for your help also....I feel much, much, much, much, better........!!!!!!!!! With great thanks, karen in pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
