SYMPATHECTOMY |
Have you had a sympathectomy to alleviate sweating or facial blushing?
Were you not warned that there could be debilitating side effects?
Were you not told there was a safe, effective, non-surgical treatment available?
Are you considering having a sympathectomy yourself?
If so please read on :
My name is Steven LewenIn 1975 I had the above operation, which has left me with multiple debilitating side effects. I was told by surgeons that I was 'unique', imagining the symptoms and should seek psychiatric help and therefore, for many years, thought that I was the only person to have adversely reacted this way.
Having found a Swedish-based website, I have discovered that this operation is still being performed (using various techniques) and that there are people all over the world suffering as a result of this operation.
This has made me realise that I am not, and never was 'unique' and that surgeons were merely trying to cover their tracks. The Swedish site also tells of at least 30 Swedish patients who are pursuing litigation (details on a link from this site) and has numerous emails detailing horrific experiences from dissatisfied patients all over the world.
The purpose of this site is to:
Act as a warning to all those contemplating surgery as there is no effective reversal of the operation
Give advice/helpful information to those considering surgery
Offer support to those who have already been left with debilitating side effects
Have this unnecessary surgical procedure banned - or at least regulated - as it largely creates more problems than it solves - and in many cases, can permanently devastate a person's life.
Please do not ignore this website because if more people come forward, we will become stronger in our campaign for recognition and justice, both for ourselves and others like us..
