Hello, It's already 2021 end of February. How are you?
At the beginning of last November, in 2020: I had seen Dr. Kevin Dolan twice and he was insistent I needed my lap band removed. I had had it for 10;5 years, no problems, and lost 30 kilos.
He had gotten on the telephone to my wonderful Gp several times and had discussed with her the difficulties I was having which were:
vomiting,
pain
wasn't able to eat sometimes for about two weeks.
BUT my private insurance had lapsed. I immediately rang and had it put back on.
Dr. Dolan said that my lap band had slipped but boy, I didn't realize how ill I actually was. I went to the hospital emergency twice, the first time with my Mum and emergency Doctors told me to go home and the second time, they admitted me........after my boyfriend was screaming that no one seemed to be hearing my problems,
All of a sudden, everything changed and a wonderful surgeon came to see me that I was to be operated on within 2 hours. My Mum and son went to get something to eat and came back to an empty bed. The surgeon was WONDERFUL: Dr. Foo was his name. He said that I was that far away from developing a huge hole in my tummy from an eroding lap band.
Fortunately, he had removed all erosion from my tummy.
PROBLEMS: from 2 November to 20th Feb 2021
Gained 10 kilos !!!! How has this happened ???
My Psychotherapist and I are positively discussing me getting a sleeve.
Dr. Dolan offered to give me a gastric sleeve. He first suggested another lap band but I had heard that they are not that good to get anymore. I have scars all through my Tummy, I can see Dr. Foo or Dr. Dolan, does anyone have any comments ??
Thanks for reading: Annie
