Has Anyone Heard of This??? Concerned

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I am going on 4 months post op and I received a call last night from

my father in law. He was calling to tell me that his neice, who had

the surgery over 2 years ago, is in the hospital and they are only

giving her a 10% chance to survive. He did not know all the details

but said that her intestines are twisted and that she has bile

throughout her body. And also that she has alot of infection and

her stomache is decaying.

I have never heard of this complication. I was wondering if anyone

else has and if there is something we can do to avoid this

happening? I do not want to scare anyone...just want to find out

information to help ease my mind.

Thanks

I don't know if she had any pain and ignored it. My father n law

did not have all the details. I was asking him things like...did

she do what the surgeon told her, was she eating what she was

suppose to?, etc. He really did not know a whole lot. I did ask

him to try to find out more cause I would like to know. I would

think that with a major infection she would know...fever and

possible pain. With the twisted intestines...I would think that

this would cause alot of pain. I will let you all know if I find

out anything else. I am trying not to worry too much or to start

thinking that things are wrong with me. Gotta put my trust in the

Lord!

Take care,
