#show summary

Let me confess I did not finish watching all the episodes but I have no interest in watching the rest of the episodes either. I know how I managed to watch episodes. 5 more? No can do sir! Problems? Not one but many.

Noor Ul Ain/Sajal Aly: I haven’t really watched Sajal act except for a bit in movie Mom, in which, I found her to be ok. This show on the other hand was different story altogether. In first episode, I thought that the character had some spunk. But I was heavily disappointed. She literally had one expression throughout, as if someone had forced her to eat one too many karelas. In short sadi hui shakal. Her character was utterly stupid and went on to get stupider as the show progress. Every single episode she had one mandatory dialogue: kuch samajh nahi aa raha, which I think is the definition of her character. She had no mind of her own. Kept doing things which others kept telling her to. She fucking got married because BC kuch samajh nahi aa raha! Most of the times I wanted to enter my screen shake her really bad, ki meri maa kuch bol, kuch kar, thoda apne dimag ka bhi istemaal kar le. I borderline hated this character.

Khizar/Imran Abbas: In his defense, he was tad bit better then Noor. Again have never watch Imran Abbas act but he at least showed 3-4 range of emotions! Khizar on the other hand is a stupid character. He doesn’t know what he wants to do with life, has no agency with his mother and stupidly falls in love the first time he meets the girl. Which i wouldn’t have realized if he hadn’t said it out loud coz his expressions weren’t conveying ALL the LOVE he was feeling. All this character did was, lament about Noor.

The ship that didn’t sail: This was supposed to be a love story. But the love part was only talked about through drab dialogues. There was NEGATIVE CHEMISTRY between the lead couple. I couldn’t connect with their love story at all. I was constantly waiting for at least some spark but nothing came. At one point I felt like Bhavya and Rudra have more chemistry than these two. It’s love at first sight for the boy, which though find laughable, can still go along with. The girl who doesn’t even want to talk to the boy and tells that to him in clear words falls in love because she misses him when he doesn’t talk! There is no built up at all. None. Zilch. Nada. This is the worst fictional couple ever. Noor had 100 times more screen time with her Chachi than she had with Khizar. I barely saw them speaking to each other 3-4 times before they fell irrevocably in love with each other. It was so freakin forced that I used fast forward through their scenes. The worst ever.

The pace of the show:

One whole min of scene just showing, Noor thinking and looking at the freaking ceiling fan which was also running very s l o w l y. Horrible.

Lighting: The lighting of this show made it worse than it already was. I had to keep my screen on full brightness, which I never do.

The Sathiya connect: Right from first episode I could see the similarities between this show and one of my forever fav movies Sathiya (2002). The outline of the show is a copy of the movie. Love in first sight for the boy, an obnoxious, classist parent on his side who bigaadofies the rishta, older sister’s impending marriage, ek behen par dusri behen free offer, the secret wedding, the amazing thappad from girl’s dad, ladke ke dost. So on and on. And this makes me all the more mad that they ruined the storyline completely. They took something great and put it in the dust.

Only saving grace: Noor’s chachi. Truly a grey character. Till she showed her real colours I couldn’t judge her character. Did she really love Noor? What’s her problem? Why is she doing all of this? I only understood her intentions when said them out loud.

Scully : No

Marginal Ulcer After RNY Bypass 4-8.0% "With the rising number of Roux en-Y gastric bypasses performed around the world, general surgeons should expect to face an equally rising number of early- and late-term complications. Marginal or anastomotic ulcers constitute the majority of these cases, representing as many as 52 percent of postoperative complications.[13] Marginal ulceration is a challenging problem, which can cause significant of morbidity in the postoperative bariatric patient. In addition, while prevention is key, it is often difficult to achieve."

Abstract

Background  

There is no consensus on the ideal gastrojejunostomy anastomosis (GJA) technique in laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB). We reviewed our experience with three GJA techniques (hand-sewn (HSA), linear-stapled (LSA), and 25-mm circular-stapled (CSA)) to determine which anastomosis technique is associated with the lowest early (60-day) anastomotic complication rates.

Methods  

From November 2004 through December 2009, 882 consecutive patients underwent LRYGB using three GJA techniques: HSA, LSA, and CSA. All patients had a minimum of 2 months follow-up. Records were reviewed for postoperative gastrojejunostomy leak, stricture, and marginal ulcer, and these early complications were classified according to anastomosis technique. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine associations between complications and anastomosis technique.

Results  

Preoperative demographics, length of hospital stay, and postoperative follow-up did not differ between the three groups. The majority of patients underwent LSA (n = 514, 61.6%) followed by HSA (n = 180, 21.6%) and CSA (n = 140, 16.8%). Using multivariate analysis, there were no statistically significant differences in the rates of leak (LSA 1.0%, HSA 1.1%, CSA 0.0%, p = 0.480), stricture (LSA 6.0%, HSA 6.1%, CSA 4.3%, p = 0.657), or marginal ulcer (LSA 8.0%, HSA 7.7%, CSA 3.6%, p = 0.180).

Conclusions  

The three techniques can be used safely with a low complication rate. Our data do not identify a superior anastomosis technique.
