Back in for Surgery after 4 months with the Band...
I am so upset and sick to my stomach from the news I received today. I was scheduled for my fourth fill today. My doctor was having trouble finding my port and he couldn't understand why when he hadn't had problems before. He stuck me four times before deciding that I go to fluoroscopy (some sort of live x-raying machine) so he can see my port. Even under the X-ray machine he was having trouble with adjusting my port. It was the most painful experience since getting my monthly fills. After I told my doc that I was feeling too much pain, my doctor had the senior x-ray doctor come in to look at my band. They both came to the conclusion that the band had either come off or is embedded in my stomach. He wants me to have surgery this week but I just cannot do it right now. I told him I will have to do it next week because there are too many work related things going on that I cannot neglect. Also, my doc informed me that if he encounters the worst case scenario he will need to remove the band and schedule me for the gastric sleeve. I just can't believe this, considering the holidays are near... :smile2:
