Pattern or a Problem: Your Thoughts (long post SORRY)

[A New New Dawn 1,695]

Again, not being a medical professional but knowing how the band works for me, it makes no sense to me why they would unfill you 1.0 cc and it seems your reflux was gone and then fill you with 2.0 cc surpassing how much you had when you had the initial onset of reflux. Also, not to be Debbie Downer, but if you are seeking another doctor you may have to call several in the area to find one that will see you. Often another surgeon doesn't want to take on someone when he/she didn't do the surgery. Also, while it may not be out of pocket for you, if he is billing the insurance that may be an incentive (for a dishonest dr) to have you come back more often. Lastly, it may be time for a crucial conversation with your dr (respectfully) as to what the plan is, etc. You need to be comfortable and have every right to speak up.

Best wishes to you and for success!

Hi! I hope you get this fixed quickly! I had the reflux problem and let it go too long. I ended up gaining 30 pounds back and am now trying to lose them. My fill is always done via a fluro and the doctor can clearly see if it's too full or not. I would highly recommend using fluro. Good luck!
