RAZISA

I have NOT had good luck!!!! Banded on 4/2/2012 ... in hospital 4/4 to 4/7 because my stomache swill shut and needed to go in again to replace the band with a large band. I felt soooo much better after the repair.

FYI - I am a social worker who conducts the psychological evaluations at the Bariatric Clinic attached to the hospital and the Surgeon's office...

Something changed about 3 weeks ago ... I had swelling around my port and the area felt different!

Yesterday, after the second unsuccessful attempt to access my port, I was sent for a fluoroscopic Xray with the MD, PA and NP present. OUTCOME -my port flipped and.....

..... AGAIN I need additional surgery to position and re-attach the port to my abdominal wall.

REALLY .....

I guess it is true .. if you work along side the MD or work at the hospital ...you are bound to be the patient who encounters complications!

I do not have the $ to pay for the additional surgery needed, as our family is saving for a down payment for a new house!!!!!

CRAP!

THX!

But they r so out dated

congratulations! your situation is very motivating for my future surgery
