My Endo results -- NOT GOOD!!



Recommended Posts

OH MY GOSH!!! Okay, I am REALLY starting to freak out now. This is just nuts! Why are so many bandsters eroding. And all around the same time frame (around 18-24 months post op!!)

This is terrible Penni, I am so sorry this has happened!

Oh, Penni. :( :( :(

You know that you'll get through this just fine, and will be stronger on the back end. When you read this you'll be bandless, but you'll ALWAYS be a bandsister to me. Take care and heal fast!

OK it is 4p here and I just got off the phone with Billy. I am shooting out the door now and heading to Ventura.

Yes Donali is correct. The scope goes through the stoma and turns itself around in the bottom and looks back up at the stoma. Yes Donali my band is eroded through the lining of the stomach.

Just so overwhelmed with all the love and compassion. My sweetie John wrote me this beautiful note and I will share it when I return.

Love you all

Later!!

OK GOING TO KISS BILLY NOW FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, Penni. This so sucks. I am thinking good thoughts for quick healing from this.

(and pretty sly of you to figure out a way to see Dr. Billy this way...)

The pics are showing in the INSIDE of the esophagus and stomach wall.. you're seeing the band actually protuding inside the stomach wall. Normally, there would only be stomach tissue there, but you're seeing the stomach actually growing OUTSIDE the band, sort of like a wire cutting into tree bark, if you will.

I"m so sorry you are going through this. I also think you have one bright little lady for a daughter! Whatever happens, you are going to be okay. I am glad you called Inamed and talked with them. I'm also glad that bandsters post good AND bad things that happen. We learn from all of them...hang tough, Cindy (((hugs))))

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
