Their is no Doctor here that will take any of his patiences

Have never had that sweet spot..or restriction after about 14 fills

Okay I know most here know I have so many fills that I feel like I could scream, without I might add any restriction.....period....have I lost anything In five years of this band NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......have I had restriction....What is that I ask myself....My last fill my doctor put me at 10cc that was all the band would hold....I threw up and threw up....until I had to go back and have it taken out....especially when I couldn't even hold down water; they removed it I went and had a barium....I got back in the office a month later....since it takes that long to get in.............Here is the scary part...he says my band is okay...he starts the feel next thing I know my chest and arms are feel like they are being crushed...him and his nurse look at each other like...ummm teach her a lesson...I never ever was so scared in my entire life....he told me after that I need to have another barium, and was not to come back to his office until I seen a dietican......I am thinking okay why would I need him........then...I have no fill ...a useless ban.... and nightmares from hell.......I cry each time I think what went on that day...........

Well let me explain.....I had ten fills in one year and was never restricted period....The of us women whom our husbands work with each other went to have lap band....Our insurance paid a 100 percent.....Now three of us have never lost any weight......When we go in for a fill I only pay 25.00 and insurance covers the rest...Now if I went in and paid cash it would cost me a hundred...but he charges my insurance around 700 dollars last time I checked....How rich does this guy want to get off of us three women......

Trust me I have had over 13 fills and not lost a bit of weight

I went and had my 13th fill....I had a barium done 3 weeks ago..it came out okay....when I went to get the fill....as he was filling, pain started in my chest...lungs...he said he took it out and tell you I will never ever go back again..................................................................:wink_smile:

He would only do a half cc at a time....more money that way

I walk 40 minutes a day on my treadmill...I never had any restriction period....during those two years....Their were three of us women whose husbands worked at the same job...and not one of us ever lost any weight period......I find that strange...especially because our insurance covered each fill...we only had to pay 25 dollars for our fills......but to have 10 fills in one year...Don't you think that is a bit to much? I just had a barium done a month ago...and have never heard from the doctor period about it.....I also drink 64 ounces of water per day.....I cant eat wildly since I am diabetic...I don't have my fill ...they took it all out.....I am so very depressed........about this.....See each time I go in to get a fill!!! My doctor charges my insurance at first 600 dollars...Now he charges my insurance 800.00......If I went and paid for the fill myself and not use insurance....it would cost me 100.00...so in one year my insurance paid 8,000.00 for ten fills, that doesn't make sense to me at all....and why should I have had ten fills ...when you should only need perhaps three per year...if that....When I went in to get my first fill...My doctor didn't even know what band he put in ...and they had to call the hospital to find out....How can you lose weight.....when you have know restriction? If I was going to have no restriction..should of never got the band..I was never put on a 1200 calorie diet...The one thing I do know is Their is no such word as diet....That is what got us here...we most likely tried every diet in the world....the key is to eat right...and eat healty....and eat less.......that is why we had the band...to help us eat less....but if your not restricted...ya gonna be eating just about what ya ate before ya had it............

Well I think because my insurance paid for every thing he decided to take ummm advantage of it

I had surgery two years ago...In one year I had ten fills...yes ten....I never lost any weight...period...neither did my friends whose husbands work with mine...they also had tons of fills....I went for a fill....It was filled so much I would throw up all the time...I went back had the fill removed...and got a barium test done...I am very deeply sadden...I have insurance....everytime I get a fill it only cost me 25 dollars...but they charge my insurace 800.00 if I went and paid for the fill myself it would be only 100.00 dollars..... I am very very depressed.....I feel very confused about this...I can't lose weight if the band is not restricted...but when I went to get the last fill....he said I might need a smaller band....now that is more money down the drain.......... I am so unhappy...and so tired of it all....I wanted to lose weight...In two years I weight now just what I did when I got the lap band.... WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY:frown:

It's sad to think some doctors will abuse insurance that way.......

Eleven fills in span of less than two years.......humm and guess how much I have lost....10 whole lbs...go figure...each time I go in I pay a copay and my doctor is now charging my insurance 800.00 he use to charge them 600.00 ...I Just got a fill today...I am still hungry...and I am almost at my fill limit..

I hope my boobs strink....would be nice to find a shirt that would button up properly....instead of showing ya bra lol
