I am a type 1 diabetic that has gastroparesis and retina hemorrages, I went to the Cleveland Clinic In Weston, FL and saw Dr. Rosthenal. He told me that instead of getting a pacemaker in my stomach that IF I got the gastrobypass surgery (also for weight loss). That i would no longer have this gastroparesis.
Well...He LIED. I had the gastro bypasss May 12, 2008. I have been out of the hospital about a total of 8 days this month. Every 2 days I am back in the hospital and since I have NO veins, they have to go to surgery to put centeral lines in my neck or groin.
I have become very depressed. Everyone sugar coats the sugery. So I am here to tell anyone who wants to listen how my journey's going. So far it sucks!
