Today i found out that i streched my pouch

Yea you would be sick. It sounds like your doctor didn't do the surgery correct.

Who is your doctor?

I just looked up some symptoms for a leak and I don't have them. I do have some tightness around the chest area that started yesterday but other then that I'm completely fine

Who is your surgeon?

stricture?

Are you totally sure you had vertical sleeve surgery? I mean, I'm reading what you're saying and I'm thinking maybe they put you under and didn't do anything?

[bee13 44]

Also, I am really sorry you're having this problem. It sounds like a total nightmare! Please let us know what you find out.

Yes that was what was suppose to be done. That's what Aetna paid for

Well I'm sorry that you feel that way. I didn't make this post to prove anything to you. I simply posted it because I wanted to know if anyone else went thru the same thing.

He did X-rays today's and That's how he came about the reason. I have already requested my surgery pictures today. I do know that I didn't have to drink the leak test stuff in the hospital because they said it was no need. I have a close friend that had the surgery in march of 2012' date=' she referenced me to her surgeon for a second opinion. Once I have all that I need to know I will glad upload pics and paper.

This is not something that I came up with. As I have stated in previous post. I have never felt ANY of the things that you all have felt. I was in weds and out Friday on the treadmill sat and back at work on Monday. With not a on e of Any pain Meds. I walk and or work out 5 days a week. I eat what I am suppose to. I live with someone who had the surgery 6 months before me so if I were eat wrong she would have let me know. Only thing that she has ever said to me was that she thinks that I drink to much Protein. I am very afraid of losing my hair. My doc td me as long as I get my Protein in I should be fine. So I drink protein all day long. Drinking wise I probably get 120 grams a day not including the food I eat.

This is already a stressful thing for me so please please don't tell me I am confused about something that my SURGEON has told me. Weather it be right or wrong I no what was said to me. So I am now taking it to the me t level to get the problem fixed. Once again I just wanted to know of any surgeons I. My area or has anyone ever went thru this before.[/quote']

I am sorry if I offended you I am not accusing you. That's not my intention what I am trying to imply is that maybe you misunderstood what your surgeon told you . That much protein will store as fat you should be getting 60-70 grams a day.

Gained 20lbs?@7wks, starving and eating right out of surgery? Did you compare notes, surgery scars, hospital experience with your roommate who had the surgery 6mos prior?? Did you have the bypass and not the sleeve perhaps??

Who was your surgeon?

[stacygrdnr 92]

Yes that was what was suppose to be done. That's what Aetna paid for

I think the reason we all are puzzled here is because you and your doctor referred to the stretching of a pouch which typically happens to bypass patients

[suepeeps 230]

When are you getting the second opinion? Good luck to you!

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

Edit: seems like something was wrong from the beginning. I would request my records from the hospital. You should get any films that were made as well. You can then compare those studies to the studies you had at 7 weeks at what time your Dr. Said your stomach was sleeved. Now I would say your dr seems like an idiot but according to OTR idiots don't make it through med school. ( whatever)

All types make it through med school...look up some criminal cases against medical doctors.

Drs are not above being idiots IMO

Or are they above having intent on a procedure but I edited this as to not accuse but only suggest anything is possible IMO

[SeriouslyChange 319]

Honestly, I think they put you under and didnt do anything. Do you have stomach scars? Pain when you sit up?

I'd say go for a second opinion and sue the sh*t out of these frauds. They have no right to play you like that. Playing with your emotions, making YOU feel like you failed when in reality it's THEIR fault

[LadiWobs 13]

What I found odd is your drs medical group offers a "stomophyX" procedure that is new and it fixes failed WLS procedures. I don't know call me crazy but what if they are purposely not doing the surgeries correctly to later milk the insurance companies/patients for more money on this new procedure.

It's on their website. Supposedly it's offered only by a few groups... Them being one

Just a theory

Cause this seems too odd' date=' ya know?[/quote']

I don't know what that is. Wheni asked what else can be done. She said I can set up a special plan with the nut that will be a special case for me. But I will ask them tomorrow

[LadiWobs 13]

No pain what's so ever. I actually started lifting weights for my arms. I promise you. It's extremely funny for the things I can do compared to the ppl that had the surgery the same time as me.
