I had a seroma that opened up and I had to have the wound debreeded (sp) because it got infected. The surgeon that opened up the wound made the opening larger than the originalm opening. It started at 10 in by 7 in. Now I have a wound vaccuum and will have it for quite a while to heal up. It is frusterating. It is a good thing I am not working because there is no way I could get a home health nurse here after hours. The problem started because the drain on that side never drained anything. I mean NOTHING. The surgeon probably gone back in and moved the drain, but he never mentioned it. This can happen to anyone, regardless of the surgeon.

Paying for Plastics (Mexico)
bayareanan replied to EmilyIsSleeved's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I started saving after my sleeve and have almost all of it saved now. -
I am going to use him once I save enough money. He was quick with calling back and answered all of my questions. My case is different as I have only lost 20 lbs since my surgery 18 months ago. Yes, I am followiing the diet, but I havent lost much. I take 3 different antipsychotics and everyone thinks that is part of the problem. Anyway,I want to get a panni and have lipo on my hips as they stick out. He was the only one that would take me on at 300lbs. Others would do the panni but not the lipo. His price is also competitive. The price he quoted me for not just a panni but tightening the muscles as well.

DFW TX Surgeon selection? (Dallas / Ft. Worth)
bayareanan replied to Better than dead's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
I had my lap band surgery with Dr Victor Gonzalez at Medical City. I moved before going to TJ to have a revision done. I should have gone with the sleeve to begin with. -

Band to Sleeve in TEXAS? Doc referrals DfW area or Denton?
bayareanan replied to Poorehouse's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
When I lived in Plano I went to Dr Cribben's talk about lap band. My insurance wouldnt pay for him, only Dr Gonzales. I feel like I had good care and the procedure was one at Medical Center, Dallas. I have since done a revision to a sleeve with Dr A Ortiz in TJ. I also felt I had excellent care. -

My surgeon filled out the paperwork for Ca disability. I wanted a long time off so I could also take a vacation. He gave me 6 weeks! -

I havent lost much weight and the docs and nutritionist feel it is bacause of the anitpsychotics I take. I am on high doses of three of them. I hate my panni as it hangs below my pubic bone.I also want to lipo on my hips. I have found one dr in TJ willing to take on the case. I was turned down totally by one doc and the other would do the panni but the lipo. Has anyone in my position looked into this surgery
