PLEAS SEE THIS LINK SHOWING THERE IS NOW A PENDING LAWSUIT AGAINST DR DRUC VUONG FOR HIS GIVEAWAY SCAM! He's now fleeing Texas in shame so beware ILLINOIS...he's headed your way...... http://peasinutah.an....com/drducvuong

I previously told you all the story of how DR DUC VUONG and his free lap band was a scam ...Now here is a lawsuit regarding this...please see attached link... http://peasinutah.angelfire.com/drducvuong Here is the story: Dr. Vuong offered a free Lap Band in 2009 and never held up his part of the bargain! The whole constest wa a scam!!!! The winner tried to get her free lap-band and DR. VUONG backed out of the deal. Mr. Vuong, you shouldn't put together a contest giving people false hope and then they waste their money to fly down to Texas and stay in a hotel. You announced them as the winner and then when they try and contact you, you never return calls until months later, when you tell them you are not able to due it because of your financial situation? You are a doctor! That is a load of crap! I hope that other people considering weight loss surgery see this post and realize you are a liar and go to a different doctor!

so, here is my story. I was banded back in 2005. I did great and lost about 100 pounds until June of 2010 after I had my baby. I had acid so bad I couldn't even lie down. I was choking on my own fluids during the night and I couldn't even keep down Water. It was miserable and I knew something was wrong. I went in for a barium swallow and sure enough my band had slipped. I waited until August to get my band fixed because I had to get the money since my insurance wouldn't cover it...So, now I have gained back most of my lost weight and I am miserable!!!

Update--I went in for my 20 week ultrasound yesterday and found out I am having a boy! Everything looked fine on the ultrasound so I now know my doctor really was an idiot(if you read my previous post you will agree). I am finally releived to know that all is well with my baby.... I also have everything out of my band and still struggle with eating..I think the best options are Protein shakes.(The soy protein powder) I mix it with a banana and regular milk and it tastes pretty good. It is impossible for me to eat meat so I need to get the protein somewhere. If you can't do the shakes, then try the liquid pouches of protein they sell at any Vitamin stores. If all else fails, try going to another lap band doctor in your area to get some suggestions..Good luck :thumbup:

I am now 19 weeks pregnant today and feeling depressed. I went to my doctor last thurday and she couldn't hear the heartbeat with the doppler monitor so she got the ultrasound. She was looking for five minutes and then said to me, "Have you beed bleeding?" I replied no, then she says, "Well, there is no sign of pregnancy!" At this point I was freaking out and crying...she then kept looking and we saw a foot on the screen of the ultrasound monitor. So she says, "Oh, your uterus must have moved when you had your lap band surgery." She then proceeded to hear the heartbeat but couldn't get it. She said, "Well, we can see the baby is moving so obviously it has a heartbeat." But I never got to hear the heartbeat and I am still upset at how insensitive and stupid she is. Needless to say, I am switching doctors A.S.A.P. I have my 20 week ultrasound next monday, but until then I'm still feeling really unsure. The doctor made me feel like something was wrong. Has anyone had this happen with their doctor? I know I am overweight but not so overweight that they wouldn't be able to see with an ultrasound. I only way about 185 lbs....I am just praying that everything is okay with my baby and so until I see my baby and hear his/her heartbeat I am just really unsure.....:smile2:

OMG! I just went to my first dr. appointment today and it was awesome! I was unsure of my due date so the doctor did an ultrasound and I am actually further then I thought...I am 13 weeks and 1 day pregnant. So now my DD is 6/7/10! It was so great to see my baby...and to hear that everything looks good. Finally, this all feels real.....and my nausea is also tapering off, which is another great thing.....:smile:

I have been sick since I found out I was pregnant...I have been on Zofran because my nausea is so bad and I have no urge to eat. Nothing ever sounds good and every smell bothers me...I have headaches daily and have no energy....and I am 7 weeks now but have had this alll since 4 weeks....lol...also sore boobs....This is a rough pregnancy for me...The last one, my morning sickness was nothing like this time....
