Completely frustrated.



Recommended Posts

People keep saying it's my fault my band keeps breaking. It's my fault the nurse practitioner broke the port to begin with, just right months after I got it. It's my fault that when True Results repaired it they put in to much chord and wrapped around itself and broke off the band and apparently it is my fault the surgeon than had to move the port to my right side where it pulls and pushed all the time and keeps causing me to aspercream into my lungs and have multiple rounds of pnumonia and bronchitis for the last three years. I just was this thing out if me! I walk over 7000 steps a day (until my foot was crushed a year ago). I didn't start eating breads and Pasta until after they told it needs to come out. I didn't drink carbonated drinks until we knew the whole system was already compromised because of the location of the port. But, yeah it us my fault that True Results screwed all of this up and then closed up and ran away. The two surgeons that worked on both disappeared as well. But, yeah it is my fault. Bull****. I realize a lot of people screw up their bands, but people need to know that True Results also screwed up the bands. I recently had a hip cray and the cray shows a port in my hip cavity! I have had to use an inhaler since January 2017 because of the aspiration. I wonder how many other are having problems because of True Results care.

I do want to add, that I k ow the band can work and it did work for me the first eight months before it broke. I am praying for insurance approval to have it removed and have RNY done.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
