Guest guest Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 Wow. I had no idea that was a possible complication of open RNY. Had I known that, I may have opted for lap. ;0 ---------------------------------------- Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.com http://www.5dollarhosting.com .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune! RNY Complications -- This is a HOOT I have to pass along something that I thought was hysterically funny!!! Tonight, I was reading an abstract of an article (Open vs. Laparoscopic RYGBP: Comparison of Operative Morbidity and Mortality) and they were listing complications that occurred in their subject groups (one group was open, the other Lap). Okay, so I'm cruising through this abstract, reading the normal things; Gastrojejunal Perforation, Gastrojejunal Stenosis, Ventral Incisional Hernia, Cholecystitis... yadda yadda... okay, so then, there it is -- the FUNNIEST complication I have ever heard of occurring from WLS: Hit in Head by Trapeze (http://www.utahbariatrics.com/comparison.shtml) ROFLMAO!!!! This happened to one person in the " open " group. I just about peed my pants when I came across this one!!! Thought some of the rest of you could use this chuckle too.
