Anchorage local support

I have asked Kristen in the office (Dr. TOdd's) and it is for his patients only.  Kindof sucks!

Tantrica, No, it  had nothing to do with him or his work.  I tend to develope "seromas"  after surgery.  And after my revision, I had  a big amount of fluid build up and it actually pushed the port and tore the stitches.  
  I  was able to get one fill in the past year but it was so small it did not do anything at all.  He was not able to do it.  Dr. Cruse did it in Radiology.  But it is not something he "does" so getting another fll was just impossible. 
  THEN, when Dr. Searles got him to  do another fill for me, they found that it turned completely around and the backside was facing .... so fills were IMPOSSILE..

  Dr. Searles said that the best thing is to get it stitched into place.  He went deeper and more stitching to assure it did not come undone.
  But no, it had nothing to do with him.  

  I once again have a terrible time with a soroma, he just drained ALOT of fluid because I had to do 2 ER trips.  The last, I could hardly breath.  

  He has been awesome with me and have nothing negitive to say about him and have actually recommended him to other people.

  Gosh, I am sorry that happened!   You know, before my revision , I had reached my goal weight plus some and you  could run your hand over my belly and feel the port.  ALMOST every person I know with the band has said thes.  But never where it causes  pain.

  Maybe talk to him on a regular basis and he will get tirred of hearing it and fix it!  lol
