Reply #48: Your daughter is a RARE CASE

[corarose]

They tell you at Northwestern Hospital that you will NEVER be able to digest sweets and starch's and they tell you this AFTER the surgery.

It could be that I am thinner than your daughter at the moment and I couldn't hold down food and that's why I lost my hair. If you go into my group you will find my of them have lost a majority of their hair. I am not talking about going bald what I am saying is it thins out.

I applaud your daughter for being one of the special people that nothing has happened to but 90% and I mean 90% suffer complications.

Like I said I would do it again today or tomorrow because of the pro's and I wouldn't stop from the con's of this surgery.

She is lucky if she can eat sweets without getting sick and it's rare.

My cousin is an RN and she had bypass surgery. She works in a hospital in Ohio and she has the same complications as I have.

People need to know about the side effects and if your daughter is only eating 2 ounces after 1 1/2 years she needs to be checked by the Doctor immediately because she should be up to 6 or 7 ounces by now.
