6 months in and titallt disgusted

Remember you are your best advocate. You either need to find new Dr that will work with you, or have a heart to heart with present Dr and not leave the exam room until he addresses your concerns.

Has he made sure you have no leaks, slips or unlatched band?

If band is in working order, he needs to find a Dr for you that can do metabolic test, b/c the numbers don't add up.

Do you actually measure your servings or eye ball them?

We'd really like to help you, but need more answers.

I'm curious too, why they kept you in hospital for 5 days?

I wonder why they said not to follow a Weight Watchers program along with having the band? I am currently doing both, quite successfully I might add since I lost 11.2lbs in 3 weeks!! I found myself eating to much band friendly bad food now that I only see the surgeon every 3 months so I wanted the weekly support of WW to go along with the band & surgeon was all for it since he totally recognizes there is as much of a mental aspect to the process besides the physical.
