If the radiology team was called in by your bari and they refusedto come in that is a huge no no :angry: . The ordering physcian needs to know that he was refused. That is a disregard for doctors orders. They should be shaking in their shoes cuz IF you would of had a serious complication (I am talking er surgery) and they did not come in that in itself is a lawsuit. You are correct to be calling the er admin and the hosp admin. You need to call both. Also, loop your bari into the process. If you get to actually "see" the admins I would bring in a picture of what the stomach looks like post vsg. I am sorry that human medicine is so stupid sometimes.:blink: I used to work on the human side and switched to the animal side.

I feel fine now that is has passed, I was feeling it quiet a bit on its journey to the sewer. The emotional scaes are still raw from the hospital experience.

Unfortunately many medical places have lost that sensativity toward the patient. Now it's all about quotas and getting money. Its really sad, I work as a nursing supervisor in a local clinic and always make time for my patients, I will listen and definately help them any way I can if it's by referral or by going an extra mile and just being there for them as they cry or tell me their story. . . it's really sad the care has been thrown to the wayside in many cases. I'm glad your better physically, but emotionally you'll be ok, I always say "what goes around, comes around" Those folks who did you wrong like that will one day be on the other side and get someone just like how they treated you. . . good luck. . know that we are here for you!

I'm really glad that everything has resolved okay as far as the physical problem. I can only hope that you get a satisfying resolution to the hospital/doctor/tech problem as well. I'm sorry that this happened to you, and sorrier that you had such a bad experience. Please let us know how it turns out.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
