HI, im 20 years old.. about 3 in a half months ago i had my first scheduled surgery. i was very scared about going under for the surgery!all i remember is the bright lights as they strap u in and u fall asleep.(HERE COMES THE SAD PART) the first thing i remember when i woke up, was saying (omg thank god im alive).. now seconds after i hear my doctors voice saying "IM SORRY ADRIAN, i couldnt do it!" i felt like crying! i was still half asleep i kept asking "WHAT HAPPEND? he said "i had to take a look inside" i couldnt believe it.. i went through so much to get my courage high enough to do it and it was all for nothing!.. he said something about him not sure if he had damaged anything inside! he then said "I OPENED YOU UP" i didnt understand. i was heavily medicated and kept falling in and out of sleep for about 2 hours. when i was fully awake the doctor told me that there was complications and he had to look inside.i payed cash.. so i couldnt afford to stay at a hospital because i have no medical insurance.. they sent me home after 4 or 5 hours. i couldnt walk for for 5 days.. i had strong pains in my stomach.. I NOW HAVE 5 SMALL INCISIONS (normal for this type of surgery) and a HORRIBLE 4 inch scar!!!!!!!!! long story short... i didnt know what to do!! but i seen my doctor 3 weeks later and then had the second succesfull surgery 1 month ago! i got my 2nd fill 2 days ago... i have lost 19 pounds... WHAT SHOULD I DO? i wanted to loose weight? but im having thoughts of why i did it and what should i do?? i feel like they butchered my skin! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!!!

thank you very much... i do remember hearing this.. i guess i was soo upset i didnt remember.. i have asked my doctor about this and the same reasons were given.. now that u tell me its a "blind" insertion.. i see how this could happend.. well ive lost 25 pounds now.. i still over eat a little and have to throw up once in a while.. but im getting use to it... :confused:

he said he was having trouble cutting me open and putting the tools inside me.. he had to put some pressure and i guess he felt there was a chance something might have gotten damaged,, thats what i was told.. i didnt know much about the procedure before i got it done the first time... i went to the seminar checked my back account then i got it done 2 and a half weeks later!everything was fast. i was just very exited.. and i do try and not over eat so i wont vomit.. but i kinda do.. after i eat something very small, i cant help but take a drink.. therefore i vomit.. WHAT DO U MEAN BY STUCK??

My doctor put me on a Fluid diet for 2 days before my second surgery. an NO i was not banded the first time. i was told he had to open me up because he had to take a close look inside and make sure nothing was damaged. my first surgery left me with 5 small incisions, a 4 inch scar and UNBANDED! im sorry i had 2 fills in a 5 week period. first fill was 2 weeks after being banded and the second was 19 days later. i was able to eat almost normal. and i was not loosing weight.. i called and made an appointment and my doctor seen me the very next day. he gives me special treatment now. I was a self pay.. and all my fills are now free! well thats what i was told from my doctor.

QUOTE; What should you do about - what? The scars? Let them heal. The stretch marks will hide the scars anyway. ;o) I'm not sure what you want help with?? idk.. i guess i was just asking like is there anything i could do.. i kinda thought i was the only one that this had happend to.. now i have read more of these like cases! thank u all for ur support..
