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.

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.

Dr Haucuz never did the bs there I had done here when I strat having more pain. festival my pain on my shoulder never went away for 2 months until I had check from a dr here. you guys can't believe me that is ok, just go to him and take your chance. I hope I was luck like you, because I am sofring a lot.

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.
