A late update

Sep 19, 2010

I HAVE NOT POSTED IN A LONG TIME BUT JUST TO GET EVERYONE CAUGHT UP ON MY PROGRESS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. I had my surgery on Nov 4th 2009.  The surgery was suppose to take 2hours but it lasted 7 due to scar tissue from my lapband removal and my c-sections. I stayed in the hospital for 6 days unable to keep even ice chips down but the crazy thing is I did not have any pain just a little burning around the insicisions. my problem now even after 3 weeks I have a tremendous amount of gas that I can not get rid of  sometimes it builds up so bad it makes me throw up and I am still having trouble eating. My vomit smells so bad it can clear a room it smells like feces. I kept telling the doctor about the pain in my stomach I finally got him to take a cat scan on Dec 15th. The doctor just called me today to tell me that I have a hernia and that part of my bowel has leaked through an insicion that did not close so I have been throwing up feces I am scared and need to know what to do. I need to seek a second opinion who is a good surgeon in wisconsin please help me. The doctor also informed me that he left some of the tubing from the lap band inside my stomach. What can I do.
