Last March I had a hernia repair and a part removed from a gastric band, unfortunately 1 week later I contracted Shingles and developed Ramsay Hunt Syndrome. The tubing was left in my stomach laying along the base of my stomach causing me a lot of pain, I also thought my band had been removed, it wasn’t.
I was referred back for surgery in November 24 agreed to do it Feb 25. The pain I have is terrible at times. I was admitted for surgery mid July 25 gowned up waited over 4 hours only to be sent home. I suffer with anxiety and have been struggling my next date was a week later which has been cancelled, my next date maybe early August.
It’s bad enough been in pain and anxious but to be cancelled like this is really affecting my mental health, life is bad enough with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome but coping with this pain is awful
