Last summer they tried to give me a fill only to find out that my port had flipped and could not be accessed. In August of 2013 I had surgery to remove and replace the port and tubing to the port. The past year, I could the tubing when I laid down or bent over. It seemed like my fills never did anything for more than a few days. I finally became vocal enough to get them to check my band closely for leak etc.
When they did they found out there was a leak and encouraged to go personally see my surgeon and talk to him about the pictures they took while looking for the leak. The nice receptionist at my surgeons office told me there was no need to come in she would just set up the surgery to repair it and check with my insurance. I told her no, I wanted the appointment first. I then had to hang up. I called back after work..my co-worker and I prayed that I would easily get the appointment and it would all be taken care of. I did. I went to that appointment and my surgeon was honest enough to tell me that he made a mistake last year and that his mistake was causing my band to leak. He corrected his mistake this week without me or my insurance having to for it. Even more importantly without me involving an attorney.
Thankfully I have not gained extra weight over the last year. However I weigh in at what I did when I had the first surgery over two years ago.
So in the words of my favorite Joey Mac. Song....HERE WE GO AGAIN! Short term goal 280...long term goal Onederland.
