Ok all Im new to your site but need all the help i can get! I went for my first fill on friday and watched as the barium passed right by my band!! they filled me completly up and we redid the baruim...again it ran right passed it as if my band was opened.

The doc says he thinks its eroded but ive only had it one month..doc who did the surgery says its not eroded but has no clue why it did that...we are talking of doing a Endo scope this week....

Has anyone ever heard of the band being OPEN? I have pics of my xray attatched to this.

Please any input you guys have will be apreciated!!

Thanks!

christy;)

Ok all i have an update!!!!! Dr Rodz has agreed to reband me! I will get back with you all with the dates.

Everyone around me is worried about it and to be honest so am I BUT i cannot afford to do it here in the USA and he wants to make it right so i feel i should give him that chance.

All surgeons have some error % i just happen to be part of his. LOL

So keep your fingers crossed and thanks for all your help!

Christy

Christy,

What got him to change his mind? Did you start to 'squeak'?

It's time we stopped making excuses for such things and defending doctors when they screw up. They may be wonderful people, but as surgeons they have a responsibility to perform each surgery with care and skill.

Do not let this guy take your money, you hopes, your future and push you out the door saying this is a fluke. Stand up for yourself and dont worry about hurting his feelings or the confrontation. Trust me, you have a huge community of bandsters here who know how to make waves. If this guy doesn't do right by you, he knows he will be talked about around the world!

Woohoo! I was thrilled to read that a thousand whispers can indeed make a very loud noise! Now while I'm very happy to hear that the Dr. is willing to reband you, I also hope he realizes that all of us here will be watching our little Christy and if he screws up again.. well.. he knows. *grins*

Big hugs to ya Christy! I'm very happy you posted here and got the situation taken care of! Good for you!
