It's Ucdavis Supose to be some of the best doctors around , the doc did come into my hosp room and said I just want you to know that my job is done! That he has completed his job , no more will be needing him, I was dumb founded and shocked, and I haven't seen him sense either , it's only the nurses that I get to see, I make app to see the doc and still only the nurses I get to see

Thank you guys , I've tryed to find another doc and finding one within a hour and half drive of my home , is hopeless , I did find one , but he wanted $1000. And have me take more classes before he would even see me, I'm on disability Medicare and medical, I live in California , gridley California , I've been traveling to sac , Ucdavis , I really wish I could find another doc close by, it's really hard sometime to find a ride to sac, I have no family, friends have done so much for me already by taking me back and forth, that I just can't ask them to do any more, beside their car is broke down. Gridley is between live oak and Biggs which is between yuba city and OROVILLE small town , I exspect to travel some to see a doc but I can't handle anything over a two hour drive ,

Don't be haveing expectations of getting fills because I have a lapband, and that it doesn't matter how long I've had the band , fills isn't something that comes with it, this is Ucdavis hospital telling me this, I know I need a fill , I've got to travel one and half to two hours to the doctors , I really praying that they be nice enough to let me get a fill even tho they don't like doing them, I wish I knew all this before the operation, I lost 50 lbs , then all the sudden it was like I can eat anything hungry all the time , I stayed the same wieght for about a mth , then started going up and down in wieght gain 5 lbs lose 5 lbs, at the moment I've gain back 10 lbs , starting to panic , because I don't want to gain wieght back, the band works great when I can feel it, for some reason I thought getting fills was part of having the lapband , but not according to my doctor , the 30th I'm taking All my food records and exercise records and am going to plea with them. . 7 mos out , It not to much to ask for a fill , is it?

I get to see my doc nov 30, I've got 2 cc in band now that the doc put in during my operation April the 24 th next week marks my 7 mth. Still no fills hopeing and praying I get one in two weeks , didn't sound to promising tho, starting to gain back the 50 lbs that I lost , so far gain 10 back so far, that's the greatest fear I have gaining it back, my doc doesn't like doing fills tho, and I havnt been able to find another doc yet , I'm on Medicare medical disabiled , and live in gridley ca, I have to travel at least a hour to sac to see the doc , I call one doc in Chico and he wanted $ 1,000. Dollars cash for me to take classes, I told him that I've done all the classes, he takes Medicare but, still wants$1,00 . Up front, if anyone knows of a doctor not to far from my home, that takes Medicare , please let met know? Please? I can't drive in sac so I've always got to find someone to drive me, but smaller towns like Chico I can drive in, I've already gotten one car totaled out in sac . Thank god for ins.please if anyone knows a doc with in hour or hour and half at most from my home in gridley ease let me know? And not sac , already done that route and its not working , at 7 mth I think I should of a had a fill or two, I need one, thanks

Well here Ill soon , be 6 mos out sense my operation on April 24,2012. And still no fills , they said the soon as they could get me a appointment in nov, 30th and then there not even sure ill get a fill then, it depends if I have all my food records , and exercise records of every moment of the day then they will decide wheather I need a fill or not, I'm almost 6 mis out , I wieghted 300lbs to start with , I got down to 250lbs for about a mo. But now I'm gain it back ! I'm a 262 lbs now! I just want to cry, why did I go thur all this,? I wished that I gotten the gastric bypass then I wouldn't have to be begging for fills , and the doc is along ways away , it would be horrible to go all that way then them turn me down for a fill, I thought u c Davis was Supose to be one of the best, but now it seems thaeyhave no time for me, my doc even came into my room and said that his job is done , it's all up to the nurses , I call another doc and explain was going on and he said I would have to get Uc Davis to release me and I would have to have $2500 dogs for some classes, I told him I've been thur all the classes and test , that I just need a fill, that I'm disabilities on Medicare and medical and I just need a fill, still have to go thru classes, and need $2500. I just want to cry,

How do you know if your band has slip, my band revived 4-24-2012. And at time of operation the doc put 2cc in the band , as of today sept 10,2012 I still havnt recived a fill, my deal is that up unroll about a week and a half ago, I had a hard time eating bread or chicken if to dry , I would get plugged up , then all the sudden a week and a half ago , I could eat breads , dry chicken , I can eat anything , I was wondering if my band might of slipped? Or is it that it's lose now and I need a fill? Oh and I got app in nov 30,2012 to talk about a fill but , doesn't sound to promising , that would make it 7 mo. Sense my operation with no fill, I'm confused as can a band stretch and become lose that's why the fills? Or could it be that my band really did slip?

And still no fills , next app is in nov. 30, in sac and prating for a. Fill then , but I've got to have all my food records of food and times amount of cal and amount of protien every day also my activity records on times and types of exercises for each day, they said if they are not complete or I forget them , that they won't even see me, and still even with them , it doesn't mean that I'm going to get a fill, by nov , what that ? Seven mo, sense my operation and still no fills ,, I'm do afraid that I'm going to gain back what I lost, and 6 mos if food records and exercise records is a lot t have track if every day and not miss a day or three, any way just thought I would check in , nothing's changed still waiting in first fill.

Fluid In The Band At The Time Of Surgery
hookieluv replied to lassie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What was some of the reasons why they put it in at the operation? My was done 4-24-12 and still getting the run around about getting any fills, they told me that they don't like giving fills and if I'm lucky enough to be one of the few that does get a fill that it will only be half cc. So crazy I have to travel a little was to see my doctor just to be told this? Etrrrrrrrr I've got to find another doctor , yep it's a good thing he did put 2cc in during the operation or I would be running on empty,
