I would love to talk person to person, can you give me your number. I know it is late, but if don't mind. I want to understand the aid you got from the hospital. I also just feel like I am not putting enough in to this to the point I would like to see my doctor pick up the tab on something or not be charging me for something that did not work. He got paid from my insurance but now I owe the hospital. If you not to tired and dont mind talking my phone number 5024328934. If you would like me to call you please just drop your number.

Hello I know what you mean. I immediately told my doctor that I could eat more and they questioned if I was eating correctly. Then the surgeon decided i needed a port revision. I had that and then it did not work. I am expected to pay for something that did not work. I am not unemployed and no insurance. I still owe for the port revision. I have scheduled an appointment with the lead surgeon in the office to ask how it is that I was told to have a port revision and as I did that it did not change anything and then the surgeon said i need a new band all together. I keep seeing it as if I purchased a car and when I went to pick it up it did not work and then they looked at me and said we can sell you another one for the price of $$. Hell what about what I just paid for that is not working. So, I can understand your ranting. Can I ask you if you are self pay and what all was done for you when you got the port change? was the tubing changed also. I got my band April 2005. I lost 85lbs before noticing that I was able to eat more. Then it took several scope and xrays, that cost money, before saying the port needed changing. Then there were more scopes and more dyes and then a pat on my shoulder saying I want to take more of your money with no guarantees. Have thought about getting any legal advice. I just want to be back to losing. I have almost gained all my weight back and it is a mental let down. Please let me know do you feel I will get anywhere from seeing another surgeon. I was instructed to do so by the director of a bariatric department at a hospital where I live. I am just so frustrated.
