Wt gain after 4 years,scope etc.

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone who responded about the scope procedure and weight

gain issues. You guys are great as ususal. Krissy W. I have a

question. Did Doc say why fistula came about, how often this

happens and why it happens. Also, why does seam guard or packing now

seem to be an issue. It was never mentioned in my post op report and

is it a common practice? Lots of questions, I know, hope to find the

answers on Wednesday. My friend who had the surgery with Doc

said he romoved the packing and after the removal that the weight

gain started. If it is indeed seam guard wouldn't this indicate a

compromise in the staple line? On her he only removed the packing and

did nothing else. This is when her wieght gain started reappearing.

I will keep you all posted and if I am mechanically okay back to

square one, if not onward!

Thanks to all-
