Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! To those of you who prayed for my sister I would like to say Thank you! Her band was removed this morning and the blockage is gone. She was able to keep down a cup if Water tonight and she said it was great to feel it go down. To those of you who are doubting that what my sister has gone through is true or not. It is 100% true!

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! This whole situation is exactly that UNBELIEVABLE! Her drs washed their hands of her and told her to go to a county hospital because she has no insurance. Update: My sister had her surgery this morning and is now in recovery. They removed the band.

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! Her surgery has been rescheduled for tomorrow. Her dr had an emergency surgery at another hospital.

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! Prayers for my sister please. She is finally going into surgery in about an hour.

In response to some of the questions. She had her surgery in Beverly Hills at New Life Center. Her surgery was paid in full upfront. She started having problems a couple of months ago. She started losing weight to fast. Her dr unfilled her band and she still continued to lose weight to fast. She saw her dr this past Monday she weighed 230 he asked her to come back Wednesday to see another dr. She weighed 226.6 on Wednesday. The dr she saw then said they couldn't do anything for her because she doesn't have insurance. He told her to go to an ER.

They were trying to give her some pills to help her nausea and those came up. They were trying to give her some fluid to drink so they could do a scan and that came up. They aren't even able to get a tube down her throat to see how bad the blockage is. She is feeling a little better now that she is on the IV's. They told my mom today that her surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. :/

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! Still waiting!!!! She is in the hospital and is hooked up to IV's so thats a plus. They are trying to determine if its an emergency or not. I guess her throwing up every single pill and every single drop of water that they are giving her isn't enough. This is so frustrating!!! Maybe I should send them a picture of my poor 1 year old nephew crying for his Momma. It's heartbreaking

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! I was just told that the drs at the hospital will not be removing her band. She has to go back to the county where she had her surgery to have it removed and she needs to go ASAP! The drs are stabilizing her and releasing her and we will have to drive her 2 1/2 hours away. I pray that they will help her there. Please keep her in your prayers....

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! I will keep you posted!

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! She went to the ER at a hospital that does bariatric surgeries. The Dr admitted her right away and put her on IV and is going to be removing the band within the next few hours. His staff called her Surgeon that did her lap band surgery to get authorization and they said that my sister never had surgery there. I couldn't believe it!!!! She was just there yesterday and Monday.

I have had my band for about 2 1/2 years now. I don't have insurance so it was paid for out of pocket. I have been having lots of problems for last couple of months. I am losing about 1 to 2 lbs a day. My band is empty and I have a blockage. I am unable to keep anything down. I saw my dr yesterday and he pretty washed his hands of me since I don't have any insurance. He told me to take myself to an ER to get some IV because I am dehydrated and hopefully they can help me.
