Whats wrong with this picture?

My opinion.... CASH IS KING and the doctor knows it. I wouldn't trust him b/c he knows insurance will cover it and if he'd be willing (opinion) to stress you out with your weight loss while milking the insurance company 6 - 8 times per year ($5k). His work ethics is definately questionable.

Since we will never know for sure what exactly he is doing or not doing (medical records are falsified..trust me, I know first hand, I'm a medical consultant and I do chart audits and private investigations) unless OIG (Officer of Inspector General) and your state's Insurance Commissioner got involved and conducted an investigation and maybe pull together patient records..did statistics of all patients, zoning in on patient's complaining of the same issues, you probably should look for another doctor. If you do look for a new doctor, he/she should be big in the banding community.

A doctor with a high success rate of weight loss from his patients, with happy results from fills...may not be as reliant on the constant insurance money.. instead, more interested in the success of his patients, hence getting more referrals and making more money.

Everything I said above is opinion and based on my experiences in the medical field...

I know that not every doctor is crooked. There are thousands of exceptional doc's out there, but then there are the opposite.

This isn't the first time I'm hearing this being said on LBT, in fact I read this same kinda story on 3 different occaisions in the past 2 weeks. It kinda makes you wonder.....gotta question leakages.... and non working bands, multiple surgeries, corrections......... should probably compare and contrast foreign country surgeries v/s USA surgeries to see if there is a major difference between the two..

Mexican based docs are prob not worried about money cuz they are all cash anyway and they just want to perform the surgery well and get you on your way, thinking you'll never probably come back, v/s USA docs who need the continued business and income and ... well, you get what I'm saying.

Because there are other folks who are having the same difficulties as your, I would strongly suggest getting a second opinion here.

Not only for fills, but ask for a metabolic pannel. There are some other issues that could be wrong. I'm not losing weight, but I have Cushing's.
