This time i dont think im going to be so lucky to get out of it w/ out surgery .
A little background ... Friday night I got SEVERE Stomach pain . At first ( sorry TMI) I thought it was constipation . It did not go away . Saturday same thing, stomach pains, cramping , aching. Just BAD. I was not really eating hardly anything or drinking anything cause it hurt too bad . So after everyone bugging me to go to the ER I decided I did not want to do that in CASE it was band related ( which I honestly did not think it was at all ) I did not want anyone but MY doc touching my band.
SO i called my doc on Sunday (I was starting to get nasueased ) and was afraid I would throw up . He called me in some phergan and it did not help . He said if i was not better to get to his office Monday .
So i did.
Get in there drink the barrium and he says " uhh ohh that's not good" It sitting there. NOTHING is moving through my band . Which was a little odd cause i COULD drink stuff but it seemed like once it hit my stomach it came back up .
SO he totally unfills my band. NOTHING. Its not moving.
So i wait a while , he comes back in and takes another X ray and the barium has gone though a LITTLE but not much at all. By now , however i can drink water fine.
So he thinks that either my band never completely healed on its own or i have what he calls a "Chronic" Slip. Either way , he does not think it will get better OR for that matter that it WILL Keep happening with out surgery . SO I have to go in on Monday to get checked and then decide about surgery . AT this point im prepared for it. HOwever im TERRIFIED Of losing my band. People do not understand. They say " OH well you are at your goal weight ( Which BTW I lost 10 pounds in 3 days ) what do you have to worry about now , JUST eat Less " OK DUMB ASSES If it were that EASY I would not have needed the band to begin with . The THOUGHT Of losing 125 pounds and it slowly coming back on is almost more than i can bare ! So that's what's going on .

Thank you everyone
ReplyDeleteWow I was looking into your doctor but all your complications scares me. Could it be his method or skills that are the problem? He advertises $11,000 for the surgery do you think that is realistic? Thanks for all your inspiration and help to all of us out there. I'm a fellow PCOSer. :) I sure hope they can find a way to let you keep your band hun. Did you say this happened before?

This has nothing to do with my doc let me make that CLEAR ! The first time I slipped my band was MY FAULT ! I had thrown up and not allowed it to heal totally and kept throwing up before i went to see the doc . ( See my previous posts about that ) I dont have "Alot" of complications. I AM sensitive to fills that is just ME , There are issues that can come up with the band , however you have to konw what they are and be prepared for them . I was prepared for all of this , I still do not however have any regrets with MY DOC Or My surgery at ALL>
ReplyDelete$11,000 realistic ? I am not sure what you mean ? The price has not much to do with the surgery . I mean his skill is what matters and his skill is great ! He said what i have is a Chronic slip and I am the first one he's ever seen .
Feel free to email me if you have any questions about Dr Rincon . My issues do not have anything to do with HIM Or his skills ! I can give yo unames of other patients that have used him .
