Flex Wheeler's right leg has been amputated

[vascsurgeon]

DVT

Google Phlegmasia cerulea dolens, maybe he suffered from that.
Basically, poor guy had less than the best of care.
As far as taking a vein out of his leg for the transplant, perhaps they used a short segment of a superficial vein for the graft. They may have used a synthetic conduit.
There are several possibilities regarding a possible DVT, however, aside from the above mentioned Phlegmasia the likely cause of his dead leg was on the arterial side of things.

flex got LevrOWNED

Flex looks better than Levrone in that comparison. Levrone looks stocky with a wider mid section. Levrone was good but 93 Flex was better than Levrone at his best. Just my opinion.

the judges agreed with me, at least that is what people say to me when i disagree with the results

flex looks weak next to Mr. Levrone, who looks strong and powerful yet still aesthetic

93 flex might be the most overrated body of all time, way too small and skinny with those baby soft hams and glutes, narrow back, and oversized arms, it was not his best and many bodies including many versions of Mr. Levrone would beat him, i think his best was the 98 ironman

best body ever they say

Flex could dominate Ironman and Arnold yr after year but once Olympia hit Shawn ray peaked for his mro”s Yates and or Coleman were in it to win ,flex couldn’t handle those guys or peak for the o ,kev,v taylor,labrada all were in top form.

You're a dunce either way. My original response was to a question referring to 93 Wheeler.

Meltdown

As said before wheeler had a 5 year career as a pro, 93-98, handful good showings here and there but highly overrated

In a attempt to save my right leg. A stent was put in my right peck that goes all the way down to my right leg.
Unfortunately the day after the emergency surgery the stent irrupted. Within seconds my right peck, shoulder and neck was full of Blood🩸 to the point were my neck was so swollen that I was losing consciousness due to not being able to breathe. My amazing doctors had to go in and do a emergency surgery to stop the blood loss. But due to me being on intravenous heparin ,
They had to wait 24 hours to make sure I wouldn’t bleed out. So I laid there screaming and hallucinating going in and out of consciousness.

Due to the nerve damage and neuropathy. I lost full usage of my right peck, shoulder all the way down to my fingers.

( evidently blood and nerve endings/internal tissue don’t get along too well )

I had to learn how to do EVERYTHING!!
I mean EVERYTHING ( FEEL ME ) Even write with my left hand.
I’ve gained about 20% of my right peck, arm and hand back so far...

It is such a shame when shit like this happens. I wonder if it isn't worse for folks who have spent a lifetime trying to be fi, muscular or healthy. People who've always looked unhealthy don't visually have a much to lose.

When you spend your entire life bodybuilding, and you’re still misspelling a bodybuilding term. Sad! It’s not surprising that he blew $80K on a sound system for his Excursion. He could really use that kind of cash nowadays, huh? I just can’t muster up any sympathy for this guy. Every training segment I’ve seen of his, he trained lazily and always flashed his material possessions. Not a fan of this woe is me shit.

Did he ask you for a loan or for your sympathy?

[Primemuscle]

I wonder if he means a "bypass" that goes from pec to leg?
Stents are usually placed in a section of artery containing a severe blockage/narrowing. Sometimes, they'll place several stents end-to-end to cover a more diffuse area of up to several inches.

Sounds like Flex had a bypass running the length of his torso to deliver blood from (I'm guessing) his axillary/subclavian artery to his leg. Bypass grafts are used in more severe cases to essentially "detour" blood around a problematic area that isn't allowing flow to get through.

I'm not sure what he means by "irrupted." Never heard of anything like that happening to any type of vascular implant, but it's quite possible the graft quickly shut down, which would explain the leg amputation.

I wondered about the stint being so long too. Not being a medical professional or otherwise having knowledge of these matters, I assumed he knew what he was talking about. It is also possible that you are right and he misunderstood his doctor. Could a bypass have burst or tore causing server internal hemorrhaging? Whatever happened, the poor guy was left in pretty bad shape. Must be tough.

Oftentimes, patients have a whole bunch of information thrown at them at once and/or they have a complex medical history - both instances easily lead to facts being blurred and incorrectly regurgitated.

His post references a vascular surgical implant running from his pec to his leg. There is no arterial stent that would accomplish this; it would have to be a bypass graft. Google ax-fem bypass to see example diagrams.
The only reason to do this procedure is because the leg isn’t receiving adequate blood supply to survive, so they direct/import blood from a healthy part of the body’s vascular system with graft material.

Here.
Axillo-femoral bypass:



^^ The most basic type.


Beyond that, I'm not sure what else was going on with Flex. Sounds like he had/has multiple health issues.

Lol at his left teardrop. What a dope. He probably would’ve look just fine without the oil and a little extra overall mass

Doesn't look too ridiculous here
