Today i found out that i streched my pouch

I am only 7 weeks out and I really don't see how I did this. I am waiting for my surgery pics so I can get a second opinion. There is just no way.

Hi, did you ever get your second opinion if so what was the outcome? I'm almost 3 years post opt and I still can't eat a lot.

Hi, did you ever get your second opinion if so what was the outcome?

She said she was seeing the doc on the 6th.

I had my 2 month checkup today and showed the original post to my doctor. Dr. King ordered his nurse to pull up the thread and print it....he then told her to contact that office to see if there was such a case there. I asked if they could let me know just because it was a big concern to me. Dr. King said it is completely impossible and he would bet his 40 year career on the impossibility of this being true....again....only she knows the truth.

Funny how folks wanna "attack" me for "attacking" someone. In your efforts to "defend" the OP...you engage in the same behavior you accuse me of? Yeah...that makes a lot of since . I don't feel I attacked her..in MY OPINION I think she's lying...that's all

......you arent the only one. My surgeon contacted the office she named so that they could be aware of the post and the accusation. The woman is lying, its just that simple.

Neither he nor the other doctor could confirm this case as it would be a severe violation of HIPPA laws and could lead to a huge lawsuit. Even my original docs office wasn't dumb enough to say I was a patient or discuss my case specifically.

My leak test was also done in surgery. Which to me makes much better sense -- why wait until you are out of surgery to detect a leak? If there is a leak then it's back to surgery. It also saves the patient from having to go through what appears to be a pretty miserable experience ( based on what I've read on VST). Just my opinion.

Many do both. Better safe than sorry...

What he was doing was informing them of the allegation....read and understand

I can't see profiles... Who is your surgeon Dianne?

Dr who king from what city state and hospital?

Oh god! Here we go again!

He never said he was asking about her case....we dont even know who her is. Exactly how did you read that into what I said. He said he would contact that office if such a case were open they would know who posted it. Comment on what is,written not what you read into something!

Please please tell me again who this surgeon is who botched these two ladies sleeve surgeries? I'm just paying my 750 down payment Thursday and I'm having it done with Dr. Cabrera in TJ Mexico at the MIDoctor. I'm getting freaked out' date=' I'm a single mom of 3 great kids, I'm all they have I need to pick a reputable surgeon. Not like we all don't have too, I've never done anything for me before. I turn 50 this year and my oldest son is getting married.[/quote']

This surgery didn't happen in TJ. It was in the states. And I totally get the anxiety over this!!! I will be in TJ in March.

Hope you are going to be ok goto a other doc just to see what they will say. Many hugs on getting better. :)

I have to agree plus it not that serious to do so much investigation who benefits from this ..I have to say I love your post and I think you bring a lot if truth to the forum .. It's hard for ppl to hear or believe the truth that you speak
