No one has said that. I think people are just questioning because you haven't really given the complete story. Why is the the doctors fault? How do you know it's the doctor's fault? How do you know it was an "old band" and what do you mean by that? If it was a slip, couldn't it be just that, a slip and no one's fault? We are just trying to get a better understanding of the situation and why you feel this was the surgeons fault. If it was a slip and needed revision, yes I would go back to my surgeon. We aren't trying to say you are wrong for your feelings utah, we just need more info. Good luck to you.

I believe Utahband ( who is my friend) is not expressing herself clearly. The band was not OLD meaning --- used band, rusty band or anything related to that. It was simply NOT the new INAMED band that was showed to her prior to surgery, when the band was discussed. The band that was placed was a very large band, one that is not manufactured by INAMED any longer. It was the largest band and it slipped probably due to the huge size on somebody that is about 5'1'' and 168 lbs on the day of surgery ( do not ask me why someone with a 33 of BMI decides to have a Lap Band)... I believe Utahband is not hurting emotionally only because of the complications but because of having the terrible feeling of having to have another procedure a few weeks after the first one in addition to having to find out that the band was not the band she was told she would get at the time of the medical assessment. I hope I am assisting her to express herself a little better. To end all this.. Utah is doing well now, she is still struggling with the feelings of having a band ( we all know how the first weeks go), feeling extra tired for being on very little or nothing for quite a while. I hope this helps.

Not to nit pick but some one's actual height and weight does not have a lot to do with what size band they get from what I understand.

Its the size of their Anatomy inside is what determines the size of the band used. Granted it sounds like this doc used a band that was too big which can happen but "outward" appearance has nothing to do with it .

And we wonder why Huacuz patients seem to have so many more problems than others! Maybe this is one of the reasons. ;o) (One of the many reasons!)

I am one of his MANY patients who have NEVER had a problem. Nor have any of the patients (friends and family) I have recommended to him.

Consider yourself lucky. Sadly, many others aren't quite as fortunate.

The way I look at it is: if the world-wide rate for a complication is something like 2% and a surgeon has 2, 3 even 5x the normal rate, that's still 90% of his patients that don't experience that complication. Therefore, the fact that a doctor has patients who haven't had complications, doesn't mean he's a good doctor.

Yes, all doctors have patients who get complications and all doctors have patients who don't get complications. But wouldn't you rather go to a doctor with a 2% complication rate over one with a 10% complication rate? I know I would.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
