Topic: couldn't see the ring of my band during an EGD?
I had an EGD and a colonoscopy yesterday for another issue I don't need to go into here, but the doctor said I should have a UGI series and follow up with my band surgeon because he "didn't see the ring" of my band and he thinks it may have slipped (they actually used the words "slid down" so I'm assuming we're talking slip here).
Should the ring be detectable from the inside during the endoscopy process?
Thanks,
Jan

Topic: RE: Revision from RNY to DS
Thanks bobbyannsue. I went to their website and they don't do a revision from RNY to DS. There is a procedure called the ROSE that is a revision. I'll have to check it out but I'm not too sure if that's what I need.

Dr. Sonnastine knows how to do them he just doesn't believe that the few pounds more than you lose is worth the problems you have with them. BBSA doesn't do them either. As a matter of fact no one in KY does them. You might email Dr. Husted on his website and ask him who he was referring his patients to after he had to quit diong revisions, I am thinking it was someone in either OH or IN.

Hi Cherri,
I would call Bluegrass Bariatrics, they do different types of surgeries in different areas. I don't think Dr. Sonnenstine knows how to do them.

Topic: Revision from RNY to DS
Hey everyone,
Does anyone know of a surgeon in or around KY that does revisions from RNY to DS? I was going to go with Dr. Husted but I just found out that he's relocating to Arizona next month after some problems he had with the Somerset KY hospital. :(
Thanks,
Cherri

My PCP thinks that when I had to have the new pouch made in Feb., the doctors had taken out about 3 inches of my intestines where there was another ulcer, maybe it is effecting my ability to absorb calories. I really don't understand and neither do the doctors as to why I can't gain weight. I thought losing weight was hard, this is down right frustrating. I eat and eat and eat and the next day I have lost 5 lbs. :(

Topic: RE: How do I GAIN weight??
Thanks for your concern Leslie. I am trying to eat a lot more carbs, but nothing s happening. I am going this Friday to a dermatologist in Lexington just to get fat injections into my face. I really look awful there. Actually it isn't fat, because I don't have any, lol, it is a synthetic fat injection. Maybe I will feel better about myself after that. BTW, I wanted to know if you Facebook?..I'd love to keep in touch and get together sometime soon. I really need to get with a support group. My family is always worried so I try not to let them know how down I really feel. It's great to have people wround who know what you are going through.
