No where did I eve say that peritonitis is NOT a life threatening issue.. What I did say was, "Now days your less likely to die from it".
Now if someone chooses to ignore the symptoms that is their doing...
Re-read my post and look at what I stated about my surgeon and I having a discussion about peritonitis..
Before you start pointing your finger at me and think that your quoiting me verbatim. Please re-read my posts..
I could sit back and tear some of your posts down from a medical professionals stand point, (mine and my husbands for that matter) however I choose not.
Beliefs vs facts are 2 different things..
As a matter of fact, let me save you the time. I am reposting my original post from page 1 of this thread:
"First of all, no if by some weird change you develop peritonitis from a tear / leak the chances of dying these days are pretty slim. I hate scare tactics. My surgeon and I covered this issue in great detail because my mother developed peritonitis back in the late 1959 after giving birth to my oldest sister and survived. Back in 1959 she was used as a guinea pig for IV antibiotics and the first patient in Florida to receive IV antibiotic infusions..
IF you were to tear your pouch you would have some pain and other symptoms that would give you a good idea that something is wrong...
Yes you did screw up, especially in the beginning that's worse than further down the road.
You cannot allow food to rule your life. Please get in touch with your triggers.
You need to take this time to get your food-I-tude in check. Otherwise why did you have the surgery?
It is not a magical fix... It is a tool you need to learn to work with, refine and make work for you.
Sorry for the Soap Box. I personally take this very seriously. It is all about my health. I am tired of being tired, I am tired of NOT being able to do things I love.
I am tired of food ruling my life."
