My Port Infections and Erosion Story

DeLarla · December 30, 2005

Dr. Fischer told me he won't see me due to insurance reasons, but I've heard other people (including 2 surgeons) say that Fischer is just being a baby since Lopez is stealing all the Vegas clients. Fisher wouldn't even take my calls even though Lopez gave me a written referral for Fisher to do my aftercare. Wouldn't even take my calls!

And NO, I will not ever consider another weight loss surgery. It wasn't meant to be (for me.)

Lisa -

I hope you find a resolution to your Quest to lose weight. I know you started this journey with only that in mind.

Thank God you are OK and I will be praying for you to find a way to battle the weight that works for you.

It makes me sad for you.....I know what it is like to struggle and still be knocked down.

Take care - nancy

Just a thought for those of you who have suffered band erosion... and please don't flame me! Once you have had an erosion, the anatomy in that area is distorted, and placement of a new band won't be easy. For this reason I recommend lap gastric bypass for patients who want something done. I do it 6 months after removal of the eroded band. It will be more reliably successful than another attempt at a band. That's just my opinion.

That is what I am going to do. I am applying through Kaiser for a bypass since I had to have a removal due to an erosion. Didn't really want a bypass, but the ersoion caused gastroparesis so a sleeve is put of the question.

I miss my band!!!!

KayleighsMommy;

Are you in Nor Cal or So Cal? or somewhere else? I am curious, because you have Kaiser, and I'd like to refer you to a particular surgeon who would be just perfect for your situation.
