@rbertolino85 - Hi Ralph!
I had the MALS surgery 7 years ago and shortly after a stent was placed in the celiac artery- no symptoms since. A general GI surgeon removed the ligament and a vascular surgeon placed the stent.
You mentioned that you had surgery to remove necrotic bowel- what was the cause? Is this the reason why you receive TPN?
You also mentioned that your numbers are too risky? Can you elaborate more?
What diagnosis has your current GI given you?

Hi: They didn’t know. How could they not know, mals causes lack of blood flow to the intestines. They had an unconcerned attitude. This is why l feel need help soon. I have suffered too long and then die because of lack of proficient medical care. I’m very upset and need to get medical help now. Does anyone know where l can get the care l need without waiting another 6 months or longer to be treated ? The chronic pain now has been intolerable, l live at home in a room isolated, with no help from others, l feel lm dying on the vine and my doctors are not alarmed to the extent of my medical conditions. For your answer lngegerd, l have had 1 gastric by pass, the necrotic intestine removal (recissions), and another recission. I have been on TPN off and primarily on TPN for 22 years. Another GI doctor said in his written report, that the gastric by pass doctor botched my surgery. He clearly said in his findings report l have , this doctor mutilated my intestines.
I do not know about ‘’my numbers’’ you mentioned. UCI always tell me they are uncertain, l need to get away from UCI, asap. Again, does anyone know where l can be diagnosed ? And sooner than latter? My condition worsens weekly, lm doing my Will this week, l Truely need help. Hope all is well with
all of my brothers and sisters suffering. Ralph@gmail.com
