respond to, for

rhonda who was asking about revisions, i have had three, ive

had the

severe reflux, esophagitis, hernias,severe anemia requiring blood

to the first mistake my dr made he left a leak in my

staple line, the story

, my original

surgery was 12/6/96 , the dr ended up being a nightmare,

found out he

was being sued for medical neglience and was suspended from the

hospital only to be reinstated 2 wks before my surgery, yes i

searched

and did what i was suppose to do when you have any kinda

surgery but

unless these drs settle or the ins co does its not public

news,,,needless

to say hes killed several of his pts along the way over the

past 6 yrs,

has made headline news,,but after him i went to another dr

for help n he

did 2 revisions, i got much worse, lost weight down to 98 lbs

starting

weight was 273 lbs, ended up having a feeding tube which i

used for

over a year, bedsores on my butt, a private nurse in home,

it was awfull

, still having same symptoms entire time, spent over 2 yrs in

n out of

hospitals n then finally met with help of wonderful attorney

and his

friends dr harvey sugarman in richmond, he saved my life,

, when he

first met he gave me 1 yr to live if i didnt have another

revision, said if

5 people went in operating room only 4 were coming out,, had

my blood

I am very sorry to hear of all the misfortune you have had with your

surgeries. It sounds absolutely horrible, what you went through. I do

believe we had the same surgeon for the Gastric Bypass. I have not had any

complications from mine. I have been one of the success stories. Mine was

May 17, 1993. I don't know why things happened the way they have but I wish

the best to you. I hope, now that all is good, you will remain healthy and

happy.
