Why I'm considering a lawsuit...



Recommended Posts

Only a money grubbing lawyer who has no interest in your success would take the case. It sounds like you don't even really have a case. Nothing went wrong from what I read in your OP.

Even a money grubbing lawyer would not take that case. He or she would not make a dime, because there is no case.

I am a lawyer who does some plaintiffs med mal work. I can tell you that there is no way that I would take your case on a contogency or for a fee. The primary problem that I see is that you have not followed your doctor's instructions by not getting fills. In my opinion you would have no chance to win.

Find the money for fills and odds are the band will start working for you. Hell, I find that the money that I am saving in food more than offsets the cost of fills.

This is so true!!!! Good point!!

One of the earlier posters on this thread suggested that the thread starter rlynn, posted a scam! Maybe but either way, we have to assume that since rlynn has never replied, we must have chewed her up and spit her out enough that she is likely not reading these any more. My hope is that we planted a seed of hope.

Today is my 6 month bandiversary and I am so happy still that I made this decision. I am getting a hold on my food issues, and I am caring less and less about food. It is true that it is not a picnic all the time, but I have learned so much. Here is to the next 6 months. My goal is to be at goal by September..... Here goes............ Hugs........

You have to give the band time. With only 1 fill under your belt, of course youre not going to loose a lot of weight. I (like a lot of others) had to have several fills before I was able to tell a big difference. You also have to believe in yourself which by your post, and what you have told your sister, you don't believe in yourself?

Why would you even consider legal action if you aren't willing to do your part and continue with your fills? I understand that the fills are pretty expensive I think at my doctors office it's like 100 bucks a fill. Cant you just give up something when you know you need a fill and spend the money on that instead?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
