I am in San Antonio, TX. I was banded on July 9th with a follow-up visit scheduled for 2 weeks later on the 26th. My dr. is with New Dimensions WLS & very highly rated, however, I am really upset. They were affiliated with Weight-Wise out of Oklahoma City. WW provided the clerical staff, the PA's that did the fills, the facility where patients were seen, seminars & classes given.
When I went in for my follow-up visit, I was told that the dr. couldn't see me. WW had notified the surgical group the weekend before that they didn't want to continue with the affiliation. The surgeons now are scrambling to find someone to do the fills. They are also looking for a place for the classes & seminars & all support group meetings have been called off.
The first 2 weeks it didn't matter because the stomach was swollen due to surgery. Since the swelling has gone down, I could eat a horse. It feels as tho' I never had any surgery. I paid thousands of dollars for this???
Has anyone else out there had this experience? I call several times a week. As of yesterday, they still did not have any solutions. Once they told me that I could go & get a fill at a local hospital but it would cost $149. The fills were supposed to be a part of the weight loss pkg.
I am fit to be tied. I think this is inexcusable.
