Horrible few days!!!

Well, unfortunately for me I have experienced major band slippage since the last post. With my last fill apparently there was a major misread in the fluoro and my stomach had actually herniated through the band, then my surgeon put the 2 cc fill in causing major obstruction. Needless to say I have had a terrible past few days. Him and I had some heated discussion for two days and are ready to go back at it tomorrow. Appears he had tried to blame me at first for overeating. I told him I didn't think so. He screwed up. Finally got him to admit to it. So now my band is empty, starting from square one, won't be able to start to fill again for three months. I made a promist to myself, in the next three months I will lose or at least make a big dent in the twenty five more pounds I want to lose. Shouldn't be hard to start since I am on mushies for the next two to three weeks. Wish me luck guys.:cursing:

What exactly did the surgeon do wrong that caused the actual slip (besides the misread in the fluoro that didn't show the slip)? Good luck! -BG

I really think what happened is that he filled the band too much causing an obstruction therefore causing me to experience the vomitting episodes leading to the slippage. Just my opinion for what it is worth. I am still rather pissed at him because he wants to point the finger at me. Said I over ate. Imagine overeating from Thurs. to Fri. when I couldn't hold a popsicle down.

I get really angry with these doctors because they have no empathy at all. they think were are just fat and have done horrible things to get ourselves at the weight we are at.
