Guest guest Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I am so sorry to hear this. Nothing worse than being in pain when you have children to look after, I wish I was closer to you so that I can help you out, hang in there mate it will come could soon. Personally I would be going bloody ape shit at this doctor and then changing doctors if possible. Do you trust this guy to do the next surgery on you later in the year. Please think twice about him, I am sure there are other doctors near to you that can do this. Also my mate if you cant vent here where can you vent? I hope it helps to let off a bit of steam, I am now angry for you as well.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hi Snap, the same thing happened to me last September when my band was removed. He left the port in and said he would take it out when I have my next surgery (went for the sleeve) as they use that incision site to remove the redundant tummy. Needless to say after 3 lots of opening and closing it makes for an interesting scare. Well 3 weeks after my band removal, I started getting pain around the port site and you guessed, my body was starting to reject it so had to go in again to have it removed. It was only a day procedure and I was only off work for 2 days which was a blessing as I'd already used up my sick leave for last year and half of this year. I was told to have a 3 month wait between band out and sleeving to let the stomach recover from being concetina'd by the band. In the end I waited 5 months but couldn't be happier now as my weight is finally shifting. Hope you can get it sorted out sooner rather than later and also get some pain relief as well. Best wishes Gail > > Hi folks, > > I have to let off some steam somewhere, so it's going to be here- I have been in so much pain since my band removal, much more than either band installations, and after 10 days on pain killers, cat scans etc, I have to now go back in to have my port and tubing removed on Monday (I thought it was all taken out when I had the op the other week, but apprently not- I mean - why? - I wasn't going to be rebanded again), as it is inflaming my whole abdominal cavity.... so that's now going to be a total of 5 surgeries lap-band related, all when I should have had only one. aaarrrggghhhhh. > > Dr T's overseas, so I have to wait until Monday, and I can't take endone because I have to be lucid and care for the kids.
