Thanks but that is why we are self pay, no insurance here :cry Danielle

Thanks so much guys. When you had to go back into surgery did they do it in the office, or did you have to go back to the hospital and all the stuff again? How about the cost on that, we are self pay :confused: Did your Dr tell you what caused it to kink like that? My DH Dr didnt say and he of course didnt ask :angry I would have been asking tons of questions on that one but he is more the quite type, lol.. Thanks again, Danielle

Yes, he is always on liquids 24 hrs after his fill, he was able to eat today at lunch time and this happened at supper. O, God no he didnt do his own fill, lol... Sorry for the misunderstanding, lol.. Danielle

Yes that is what I mean the cord. I wasnt thinking he was sliming b/c of the kincked cord but what I wanted to know is by him sliming so often could that have kincked the cord? He is just really having a hard time and he finds he is sliming b/c of foods that disagree with him, but he is hard headed as you can see and keeps eating them. He is working on that. Now today I think he found out what happens when you overfill yourself, you slime. He has never had that happen and didnt know why he slimed. He just had a fill yesterday and this might be his sweet spot. He is eating about a cup of food (is that normal size?) and he was saying that wasnt enough but he was full. And we remember them saying you would only be able to eat about a cup of food once you get to the proper fill. Could that be where he is at now? Thanks, Danielle

DH went to Dr today and they told him his cord is kincked. They said it may straighten itself out and it cant hurt him and for him to give it two weeks then go back in. My question is what causes this? He has been sliming alot lately, several times a day almost. Could that by why? He didnt ask the Dr. But that is the first question that came to my mind. They said if it doesnt straighten back out on its own they will have to go back in and fix it. I am assuming this could be done in the office (revision)? Has anyone had this done? Thanks alot, Danielle

As far as it being hard to find a PS to do the surgery if you are overweight, I totally dissagree with that one. They will do the surgery on you but the key is they want you to be at a weight you are comfortable and can maintain. But from me to you I would say you really need to loose what you want to before the TT b/c if you loose 25 after surgery you will not be as tight. They say you can loose or gain up to 30 lbs without affecting the outcome but I dissagree with that b/c you wont be nearly as tight. BUT you could start going to consults now b/c that right there takes time, my PS was booked up 3 mths before I could get a consult then 4 mths from there till surgery so take your time and do your research on the TT and go see some PS. Check out this website, they are wonderful and can answer any question you have. I have been there for over 3 years now, lol.. Love it. www.makemeheal.com Go to the TT section. THey have many others as well. Good luck, Danielle
