Very annoyed with band and Dr



Recommended Posts

I'm having a hard and confusing time with my band. I have a 10cc band and was filled to 6.2cc. I had my band placed in 2012 in Dallas. Since then my husband was relocated with his job. Now I'm about 7 hrs from my Dr so I found one close to where I'm at now. In Dec I got the stomach virus and was sick for 2 days afterwards I had the worse case of indigestion. I called the Dr that I see here and his nurse told me to take prevacid if it gets worse to call. It got better but at the end of January I got the Flu. After that I couldn't hardly tolerate any kind of food. I would feel really bloated some times I would have a lot of PBing but I could always tolerate fluids. This is where it gets really frustrated.------

I went to the Dr that I have here but I saw his nurse practitioner instead. She said it didn't sound like slippage and took out .2 cc and it hurt so bad when she accessed my port. It has never done that before but I felt like it was more of the NP than my port. So I called the Dr that put in the band in Dallas to see them and he usually does his fills under the florascope and I'm a self pay but he refuses to see me. His nurse said since I've been seeing someone else and they've accessed my port I need to stay with him. I'm scared my band has slipped and they are just looking over it. Please give me your opinion on what I need to do???

Sorry for the long rant I'm just confused and upset.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
