mona-camille Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Don't know whats going on but apparently the hole in her stomach was much bigger than they expected. She has a tube down her nose to relase air from her stomach, a drainage tube in her side and the pain is unmanageable at this point. They are not sending her home for at least a few days. It is really worrying me now because this was supposed to be a simple - slide - out - the - band deal. Actually, it came out in pieces. Makes me all the more happy I went to a more experienced doctor in Mexico than in the US where she went!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WormButterfly Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I am sorry to hear your sister is not doing so well, it sounds like she is having a rough trot at the moment. She is lucky to have you it sounds like your both very close and at the moment supporting her sounds like the most wonderful thing that you can do. I hope that her pain eases and that the poor love feels a little better soon, no one deserves such pain. I dont know what to say other than she is in my prayers and you are too.

mona-camille Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Thanks for asking - she FINALLY came home tuesday! Was supposed to be an in and out thing but she had a lot of pain and her intestines didn't want to work. Plus, they couldn't take the drain out until tuesday. She is doing a bit better, but this was very major for her. I am really unhappy with her doctor right now! REALLY UNHAPPY! Just makes me all the more glad I went to Dr. Ortiz!

stormy Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 When I went down to Dr Ortiz, I got excellent care. Did they do a good job as well with her being this was a major surgery issue? I am just courious. I was pretty impressed with his care but just wondering what she thought? How is she doing? Please send her my thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery!!!

Please send her my thoughts and wishes for a speedy recovery!!! She didn't go to Mexico, she had hers done in the states, so she had to have it undone here too. I WISH she would have gone to Mexico for it but since her insurance paid for it she got it done here in Pennsylvania. Her doctor didn' say this, but acording to mostof the research on the web, the majority of the time, the band erodes due to doctor error with the stitches.
