You give them far too much credit.

I remember your post and your pain and heartache from all that was occurring.

You are still in my thoughts and prayers and you deserved better care than that!!

Thank you! Very much appreciated I am doing much, much better now.

Being lazy and your age has nothing to do with getting the sleeve in my opinion. Just because your doctor did not give you test others may have had does in no way mean they were tested because of laziness!? Little confused myself by that statement..

There is so much drama on this post.......I'm going to back out of it...........give yourselves some peace by not posting replies.... the stress your causing yourself and why are people reacting so much to this.....so what if it's accurate or not, look inside yourself and discover why it's affecting you so much......this is a life long pattern. Bye everyone see you on other posts......

I I almost forgot I haven't found 1 surgeon who doesn't order a barium swallow upper gi X-ray to ENSURE you don't have a leak that is standard practice in EVERY US hospital

I never had a leak test and I was sleeved in Scottsdale AZ....

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

You know what they call the guy to finish last in his med school class? DOCTOR !

Yep, doctors can be idiots and incompetent.....

I had a D.O. tell me years ago (upon learning that I worked for a veterinarian) that he had applied for vet school...but wasn't smart enough! His own words....

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']

You know it makes you wonder if they did anything inside you. I'm glad your getting help from another doctor

[DanaInNewOrleans 513]

Now you have. My surgeon doesn't do that type of leak test. They perform a leak test while you're still under in surgery.

My leak test was also done in surgery. Which to me makes much better sense -- why wait until you are out of surgery to detect a leak? If there is a leak then it's back to surgery. It also saves the patient from having to go through what appears to be a pretty miserable experience ( based on what I've read on VST). Just my opinion.

I hope you get some answers soon!

I haven't read through all these posts. You certainly can ask Aetna to investigate.

[Threetimesacharm 1,400]

I agree with one of the other posters; I bet that they did a plication instead and it did not take.

[DanaInNewOrleans 513]

I just want to say this "IF" she is taking in all that Protein she claims "IF" it is possible to gain the weight ONLY if she is using a weight gainer formula Protein Drink. Some weight gainers have as much as 1800-2000 calories per serving. But I was sleeved on 1/7/13 I'm down about 25 post op and I can eat. I eat more than I see people posting here. I can eat almost a full 18 ounces of Soup at a time but can only handle 2 eggs with a slice of turkey ham and 1 slice of cheese. I've been reading this blog since it was started and been researching this non stop and it is physically impossible for this to happen if she was sleeved. It just can't happen in that short of a time period and even more so for someone to gain 20 pounds in 7 weeks is a ton of weight in a short period as well. Something is very fishy about this blog.

To gain a true 20 pounds of fat would require an extra 70,000 calories (each pound represents 3500 calories) over what her body burns to maintain her current weight.

The only reasonable explanation is that most of that 20 lbs in Fluid retention. Unless of course she is somehow consuming a 5 Ben & Jerry's pints a day.... of course there could be some kind of fluke thing.....

Hope they find out the problem. Good luck obs...
