talked to a friend
Talked to a friend who had been banded by the same doctor a couple of months before me. Imagine my suprise when she told me she lost her band to an erosion too.
Hmmmmm. Just a coincidence?? I think not.
I have been saying since my erosion that it was caused by the surgeon who did it. Everyone just told me, "Julie, it is a known complication of band surgery." And yes, it is a possible complication. A very rare one. For 2 people from the same surgeon to erode?? No conincidence there.
And to top it off, I looked online and he is still performing surgery in another state. Wonder how many more people he has maimed since he left???
