Hello,After many attempts to lose weight throughout my entire life; I found information and success stories about the Lap-Band and I thought this was going to be the one thing that was finally going to help. I was refered to a Doctor in Lakewood, CA as the local Bariatric doctor and the doctor that I should use. At first, they were very attentive until the surgery date came along. After my surgery; I was and still am being treated like my life / health / and concerns do not matter. I have not lost any weight and already had another surgery in April to correct the port's location (it apparently turned to another direction) which made it impossible to fill. I have only had one fill (which was right after surgery) so I have 6 cc's but I feel no obstruction. I do not want to go to the same doctor that performed the surgery because I feel like he doesn't care and they make me feel like I am to blame. I wish that someone could help me. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
