Hi Samantha,
I really feel for you, I have a good friend who had stomach stapling done about 15 years ago and like you has had a never ending list of problems. And another member of the site (Helen) who had had it done back then too, went in to have a sleeve op earlier this year only to find she had so much scaring that she couldn't have the sleeve, or any other weight loss surgery either.
I know stomach stapling did work for a lot of people but I am so glad that there are better alternatives, like the sleeve, available now :-)
Good luck with everything on the 12th of Jan.
Cheers - Carrie :-)
