My wife and I have had a pretty tough road since we have been married (side note, this will play into this story, when I met her she was 103lbs), first we lost our first son in 1990 he was 8 months old, not many years after the birth of our next 2 we filed bankruptcy. During that time at the birth of our 3rd (now middle) son my wife started gaining weight. Not a lot but a noticeable amount, after the birth of our 4th (now last) son it was very noticeable and started causing more problems in our lives. Don't get me wrong, I have always loved my wife, I am not the best husband in the world but I try to be. At that time I just didn't like her a whole lot, I am not one for big or heavy girls. Felicia decided to have Bariatric Surgery, it was new then and not real known, we knew the risk but took them anyhow. Surgery went great, so great she started working for the hospital as an advocate for it. She lost from 300lbs to 170 in 1 year. Here's where the big health problems start. 1% of the patients cannot absorb any vitamin's, come to find out my wife is 1 of them, this caused the following which she now has, Glaucoma, High Blood pressure, Osteoporosis, loss of gall bladder, Kidney problems. Yes we have tried transdermals. She cannot take many pills due to the fact it makes her throw up. The Osteoporosis led to degenerative disk in her back, she had back surgery 2 months ago but is having a slow time healing. Right now because something is messed up she cannot eat, she trys but vomits everything back up. Gastro doctors, and yes we have been to 2 of them because I work at a hospital, I have resources say they cant find anything wrong. Last night she got on the scale, I like to passed out, she is at 119lbs and steady losing weight. Over the last 4 days all she could eat was 4 bites, yes bites of a chicken tender.
We laid in bed last night talking and yes crying, we have been married for going on 24 years, I wouldn't know how to function without her.
Please stay away from this surgery at all cost, do it on your own or try something different!!!
Before you offer advice like have you tried this and that, yes, we have tried almost everything other than them inserting a feeding tube.
Forgot to add this, you would think going from 300 to 119 she has skin hanging everywhere, this is not true at all, dont know how but she looks like the average 43 year old, yes her stomach is a little looser and boobs hang but she breast fed all 4 kids too. We are going to see if we can get some weight on her then have a few surgeries.
