How do you feel about...

How do you feel about going back to the original surgeon for a revision, especially if you think he/she might have made a slight mistake?  Would you even ask them? 

I feel very untrusting about asking a doctor/surgeon to re-evaluate or redo anything on me.  Just want your thoughts...

Have any of you gone back to the oroginal surgeon for revisions or tweeks?  How much did they charge you and did you think it was fair?

Hi.  I had my original VGB back in 1990 and did VERY well for about 15 years.  Then I started feeling pinching and catching on my left side, but it didn't hurt too much, so I ignored it.  Then I started developing a hernia just to the left of my incision scar.  About a year later, it strangulated and I had to have emergency surgery.   I weighed 345 at start of VGB, got down to 175, settled at 190 for the next 13 years.  Then I guess my staples came loose (I know I kind of pushed the envelope, but I also know that sometimes the staples pull loose on their own).  Anyway, I gained back 100 lbs to settle at 275.
Yes,  I am going back to my original doctor because he does have the best reputation in his field for many counties around.  Did he make a mistake?  Maybe.  Did I make some too?  Yes.  But I trust him to help me get back to where I was.  I am going in on the 29th for a gastric bypass (RNY) and can't wait.  I have felt like a failure for the last 4 years, but not now.  I know my doctor has my best interests at heart and is not in this just for the money.  I'm paying full price for the revision, but it's been so long since my first surgery...........it's ok with me.  He is also going to take out my gall bladder and fix a hernia while he's in there.
Why don't you trust your surgeon?  How long ago did you have your surgery?  I think if I felt strongly enough about it,  I would get a 'second' opinion and then go back and talk to my original surgeon  with the results.
I hope this helps and good luck to you.

Personally, no I would not go back to the original surgeon. I would go to someone who has experience in revisions. Definitely need the best if you need someone to look at what you got and if it needs fixed. Get the best.
