Finally going to new doctor

[Beachgirl11 18]

I have had my band for a year and a half, and have struggled every step of the way. Now weighing 10lbs more then I did at my first consult I have decided to switch doctors.

I'm hoping to get a new perspective and a concerned doctor. I have only had 2 fills and frankly feel like I have felled and my doctor has also felled me.

Was wondering if anyone has switched doctors and got better results?

I know a few who have, 2 in particular, that have and are happy they did.....

One woman, her Surgeon would only do 1/2 cc fill each month...nothing more...not explain anything as to what his treatment plan and expectations were....and she was paying out of pocket for each visit....everyone else in our group was moving right along, hitting our Green Zone and approaching our goals within that first year....

She felt her Dr. was dragging her along not for her sake, but to milk the process and guarantee a steady cash flow....

She changed Dr.'s to one that was a little more aggressive and concerned about her progress and welfare...things did significantly turn around fer her....and within a relatively short time after that, she met her first goal, and recently had some cosmetic surgery done....

Dr.'s are people....having a good repoire and communication, trust, is 1/2 the battle...they do not get insulted when you seek second opinions. As a matter of fact it is expected. Not everybody is compatible with everybody....We're not sheep.

Like B52 says, never hurts to get a second opinion.

Just had a thread yesterday about a Dr that didn't listen to his patient, after switching Drs found out she had a leak in her tubing.

Go for it and good luck
