A patient reported that in 2015 they had gastric bypass surgery and the healthcare provider (hcp) disconnected the implantable neurostimulator (ins) system and took the leads off of their old stomach, but did not hook them back up to the new stomach.They had been sick and suffering.Their stomach was only moving 40%, but they stated it had been since before implant.The patient mentioned they had not been asleep and up all night and then said they had been up for two days, sick.They said that the device was working fine and was somewhat helping.The patient then said the therapy never stopped helping because it was not hooked up to their new stomach.They had been trying to get it hooked back up for 22 months.It was noted that the patient was angry and upset.They were also waiting for an id card for their device and had not received one, yet.No further complications were reported/anticipated.Additional information from the patient stated they were still waiting for an id card.They stated that they felt like the "lead wires were wrapped around their muscle".They restated that when they wake up in the morning they have pain in their stomach.The patient was implanted in 2012, but not registered.The implanting hcp is no longer practicing in the us.No further complications were reported/anticipated.
