I saw my surgeon yesterday for a follow-up. I had never asked

specifically what my bypass length was...knowing I was having some

kind of distal. He said that I didn't have a distal, what I had was:

Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass with 150cm Alimentary Limb

Geez...how could I not know this???? I went into that surgery

thinking, I was having a " simple " bypass. They showed me the

" pictures " of what I was going to have in the " pre-surgery " days - some

how I did not know that they had " detached " my stomach. AGAIN I

say....How could I not know this??? I spoke with my mother, she

atteneded many of the pre-op appointments with me, she also said that

the detached stomach was never mentioned.

The other news is that I have a fistula (I hope I spelled that correctly).

Anyway, this fistula, has connected my belly wound to my small

intestine. So the surgeon is thinking that I will be getting the hernia

fixed, the fistula repaired, and the tummy tuck all at the same time in

about a year...unless it gets into an emergency situation with the

hernia.

Welll I am speechless in North Carolina
