My procedure was rny gastric bypass on May 28, 2009. My beginning weight was 287 lbs. Immediately after surgery I developed Sepsis. The staple gun used during surgery failed & I had two leaks in my stomach. On the morning of May 29th, I went back into surgery to repair the leaks. I ran a high fever, & was placed in ICU. I developed pneumonia, my lungs collapsed, renal failure, swelled up to 360 lbs & I was in a coma for 10 weeks & was placed on a ventilator, & a feeding tube was placed in my stomach. I was given a 30% chance to live. I spent a total of 91 days in the hospital. I lost my muscles during the hospital stay. I am still learning how to walk again with physical therapy. The week before I came home from the hospital, they removed the feeding tube & began to give me soft foods. Ever since they took out the feeding tube, I throw-up everything. Over the last few weeks I can't even keep water down. Since coming home 8/21/09, I have been placed back into the hospital six times. Recently placed back on feeding tube. Blood work shows I am not absorbing nutrients. NONE! I have lost 112 lbs in 7 mths. I was told by my doctor last week that I am dying.

My God...I am sorry. Maybe see new Drs...I don't know but as hard as it is and will be and as foolish as this may sound to you...don't you dare give up. Fight...You had the surgery to live... Live, fight...I'm praying that you will fight and you will live.
