I live in agony for the last two years, I opted for band becouse I thought that this was the best way for solving my problem, and i have paid a lot since our insurance is not covering the costs of the surgery. The only only great thing is that i have found this forum so i can check everithing, and i see that no one was left on his own to deal with the band. My firts year was marked by the port infection and terrible pain, and they have removed it only when it came out, and today, almost two years after the surgery the weight that i lost is minimal, only 20kg. The hispital in which i was operated is not scheduling controlls, and the gastroscopy was performed in one of the local health centers again becouse i wanted to prove that something is wrong. In my opinion, the only way out is to claim my money back, since no fills, checks, endoscopy, x - ray was made in two years. I remember when my port was removed, although i'm not a doctor, i have asked if they should make a control of the band, and they didn't. I'm scheduled for 10th october to resolve this issue, but i think that i will be again left on my own. I'm curentlly bchecking which other clinics exist in the region, South East Europe, that will be able to monitor my condition in the future. What else can i do?
