Horror Stories?

Sep 28, 2014

So a friend of mine (not a super close friend more like an acquaintance) finally tells me the story of her health issues.  She has been sick and not working for at least 2 years.  And I am always taking her 7 year old for her (I have a 7 year old too).  She tells me that years ago she had RNY at the same facility that I did.  The surgeon did something wrong and she had an aneurysm of some sort in her bowel somewhere that wasn't caught.  She was bleeding internally for years and had several surgeries and almost died because they couldn't find the bleed.  She has constant infections in her gut and is still not 100%.  She doesn't know that I'm planning to have the surgery.  She said her sister-in-law wanted to get it, and she was in tears begging her not to.  She said she definitely regrets the surgery.

How do you all deal with the negative comments?
