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.

      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! 😞
