Re: Digest Number 2888- rny complications.

[Guest guest]

a " trapeze " medically is an overbed trapeze or to explain better, some

hospital bed have a framework that goes over the bed with a triangle

shaped hanging thing called a trapeze to grab onto to help raise

yourself in bed.

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
