Maybe the reason you have no complaints is because you are one that didn't have any complications.

Complications happen, no way around it. They happen to the bad docs and the good docs. The key is how those complications are handled and how many they have.

Everyone that had no problems and loses their excess weight loves their doc. Those that have complications see how the doc REALLY is. That is what newbies need to be looking for, how the bad stuff is dealt with.

YES , im very grateful that i havent had any complications. the band has been the only successful way for me to lose and keep the weight off. i was afraid to have any surgery that would cut my stomach. i like the fact that the band can be removed. i just hope i never have to go there....

Dr. Haucuz is very nice until gets your money but if you have any complication he forgets about you. Two faces in my opinion.Good luck if you want to try him.

You wrote on another thread that this same Dr. asked you to come back for him to fix it. How is that not helping?

On another thread the poster explained he'll fix it for $7K. I think that is the frustration.

Ah! Wouldn't most surgeons not cover the cost of a slip? Guess it depends on when the person in question was banded and if the slip was caused by the surgeon, person in question or none of the above eh?

Well, first time I saw this poster's frustration with the band they just said it was a slip. I asked for details but they did not respond. Now they are saying the slip was caused by the band being placed wrong.

If the band was placed wrong it needs to be taken care of ($$) by the doc that did it. But if it was a slip from PBing, etc., that's not the doc's fault.

Not enough info yet.

Mindy

If the band was placed incorrectly it will usually show on a barium swallow. The band position, etc. If there are not enough sutures, etc. then it would show when they do surgery to correct the problem.

With that said, there are some docs who don't want to do barium swallows after surgery because on film the band "looks" like it is too high. In reality it isn't, it's just the way the band is positioned and the stomach sewn over it. Most bariatric surgeons know full well how it works but a lot of radiologists don't and they misread the films.

I know Dr. Curry from Ohio has mentioned this before and he said this is one reason he doesn't do routine barium swallows after surgery, he doesn't believe the films are read correctly by radiology.

Hi Utahband. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I can tell you are in alot of pain due to your typing. But then English may be your second language.

You hang in there and get well!

There are going to be things that go wrong with any WLS, its called complications and WLS has been known to have complications from time to time. Sorry this happened to you.

Keep us posted and let us know how you are doing.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
