My Lap Band Doctor Sucks!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Holy cow...this thread is just horrible. I can't believe that not only a surgeon could be so careless, but that his staff would do something as serious as violate HIPPA. Just...WOW!!

GB2011, please keep us informed what happens. I hope you nail their @sses to the wall for their behavior and complete lack of ethical conduct.

I filed a complaint with HIPAA. I have a few friends who are lawyers and they said this was the initial course of action.They are investigating. I know the punk knows about the investigation because someone called my cell from his office last week. I did not answer, but if there any additional phone calls I plan to add harasssment to the complaint as well.

GB2011, what doctor are you seeing now?

I was also banded by Dr. Carter (9 years ago)... I'm having some problems with it now even though it's been unfilled for 3 years, but I'm scared to go back to him. I need to find someone else to see here in the DFW area, hopefully closer to the Dallas/Carrollton/Plano side.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
