26 months post op...

Oct 01, 2009

26 months post op, and I think I am finally getting an understanding of so many things. I have come to the realization that I had a fantastic doctor that put the band in, but his aftercare was horrible. Now that I have a good aftercare doctor, it seems things are possibly working according to how they are suppose to.  To recap:

I had the surgery in July 2007.
I had the following fills with my doctor:
3 cc.s put in at surgery
+2 -8/28/07
+2- 9/17/07
went back in on 10/8/07 and was told I was only given 1.5 cc's at the 9/17/07 fill, even tho I was specifically told at the fill it WAS 2 cc's
+1 on October 8 2007...when I left that appt, I was told I had 7.5 cc's in my band

+.5 12/10/07
+.5 1/13/08
+.5 2/7/08
+.5 4/14/08

Okay...at this point, shouldn't I have had 9.5 cc's in my band? NOPE, went to another fill on 5/20/08 and was told I had 6.5 cc's in my band that day...How is that even FREAKING possible. Just going over this stuff again makes me angry.

+1 on 5/20/08....taking me to 7.5 cc's
+.5 October 2008

So...here's the million dollar question..WHY when I started with fillcenters USA in February 09 did I have 6.6 cc's in my band???? She added one cc, then taking me to 7.6 cc's...guess what...when I went back for my appt at the other fill centers usa 3 weeks ago...I had 7.6 cc's in my band, they added one and I  have been pretty restricted ever since. In fact, I weighed 211 at that appt on Sept 12, this morning I weighed 198. Was I getting jacked around by my doctor, or was he simply not paying attention? You be the judge.....
