Bridgette Faiello

i was supposed to have the gastric bypass today my whole journey to the surgery has been about a year....i have had MANY ups and downs true results wouldn't summit my insurance for my surgery until i called my insurance myself and told them to call true results. i was originally having the sleeve but my supposed surgeon Hollis wanted more tests including a esophageal motility, which i couldn't do due to a severe sinus infection. so that cancelled my sleeve surgery and to get reapproved for gastric bypass was to begin i got approved and was supposed to have my surgery today i did nothing but liquids even tho i was allowed one healthy meal a day... i lost 13-14 pounds and was ready for surgery my surgeon hollis showed up late, an hour late then rushed me into the room (in a bit of a hurry) i woke up to pain and a feeling of relief that it was over just to hear my liver was too big (DIDNT CHEAT!) and that i had a large amount of fat in my abdominal area (HELLO! im a big girl getting weightloss surgery, of course i have fat! ) also claimed his tools were not long enough and that i was too big i weighed 319 on day of surgery. someone overheard him saying that to my mom and came up to her and said that that was a dumb answer (other than the liver) my nurse told me (DR ALREADY LEFT< SAID NOTHING TO ME!) that the other surgeon was way better... depression has set in, im in pain have paid a lot over the course of the year and did what my surgeon told me just end up paying for new scars... has this happened to anyone, either by Hollis or another surgeon? BTW, Hollis put a lapband on my bigger aunt, and she wasnt too big for him

Hey fellow bypassers. My name is Bridgette, and I have been on an emotional journey which started a year ago. I weigh right now at 325. Which is five pounds heavier than I did on the surgery date from which I figured was from gas So my surgeon couldnt do it, too much fat in my abdominal cavity, closed me up and left. my mom wants to sue for reasons that we are broke, we told him if he didnt think he could or wouldnt then dont and he did. We did a bunch of test, including ultrasounds Any who getting off track, you can find more about that in theforum titled aborted. Any who, I met with a Dr. Nowzaradan, and he gave me a week to loose 5-20 pounds.... does this mean he is gonna take a chance on me?

I am going to see dr. Now however I move in a three weeks. Idk how its gonna go. Thank you guys!

Thanks guys! I'm meeting with Dr. Nowzaradan from TLCs my 600 pound life tomorrow. I'm more than half of what they way and I have no medical problems other than my esophagus which means no lap band or sleeve according to Hollis..(.ugh) And my weight. Cholesterol is fine, blood pressure normal, no diabetes or anything. I hope all goes well and see how long another process will be. I'm still depressed looking at my scars and seeing my ugly bloody tummy and knowing it was for nothing.....the fact that I have the same pain from if I had it done, and it hurts to get up. I have five small bloody black and blue incisions on my tummy

I know, but other surgeons could of and have worked on bigger patients.. I'm glad now that he didn't cause he obviously isn't the best And his assistant is a real b word to be honest I have the same pain that others would have after I was told and the scars however I'm not losing weight cause he didn't get that far before he aborted and left the hospital

I'm moving to Arizona, I might just check and see if I can have something up there He was I think he had other more important things seeing as he showed up late rushed me into surgery didn't even talk to my mom I was in for maybe 30 mins or less when he decided to stop and abort my surgery....telling my mom all theses reasons like his tools then he and his assistant left IMEDIATLY

thank you, im meeting with another surgeon on saturday, i just am very depressed and ive spent a whole year dedicating myself to this surgery and have been delt blow and blow i need help on surgeons who will do it
