My Lap Band has Slipped

No one will help me. My lap band has slipped. My surgery took place in Mexico - obviously big mistake. Now no one here in the US will help me. I have called so many places asking for help - they tell me there is nothing I can do for you. There is one doctor I have found that will accept transfering patients for $2500. I am going to do that. I cannot fly out to mexico b/c I cannot find my passport. I have lost 15 lbs in a week. I feel awful. Cannot keep anything down. The doctor I am hoping to transfer to will not do anything for me until Tuesday - thanks to the long holiday weekend. I am at witts end. I am exhausted, weak, dehydrated, and feel like I may not be able to make it to Tuesday. I was in the ER the other night from the amount of pain in my chest and back - I thought I was having a heat attack. They gave me pain meds and that was all they could do for me. I am a liability. I have thrown up more in a week than I have in my life. I feel disgusting and i feel like my body is shutting down. Miserable. Everytime I try calling anyone for help they just say - there's nothing I can do for you. I slept for 14 hours last night. I am still exhausted. I cannot drink water. I feel like I am dying and no one will help me. Helpless, lonely, depressed. I need to get this thing out of me. I will just lose the weight on my own. I will not rely on some stupid man made piece of crap - I will make it on my own.

OH' I'm so sorry. I hope you get help very quickly. I can't believe that your ER won't admit you...that is what you need til the doctor can see you. I wonder if you can request that. You need to be on an IV.

My suggestion, go to as many hospital ER's as it takes, one of them is bound 2c how much pain u are in and admit you - OR call 911, they will at least set you up on an IV and admit you to the ER. Good Luck and keep us posted. I hope all goes well for U.
