terrydumont46 1,954 Posted January 15, 2014 I want everyone that post a complaint or needs advice to remember this.The first thing you do is call your doctor. And than write us and ask our opinion. i made a mistake by not telling someone to call their doctor and it turned out to be something. Thank goodness it wasn't anything serious, i have always added call your doctor but this time i just forgot to write it. so i am saying it now. always call your bariatric surgeon or your primary care doctor if you have a concern. they are the best to answer questions. now if their advice is crappy we might tell you that and to get a new doctor but always always contact your doctor. i don't ever want to be responsible for your condition to be more unbearable than it is. okay i'm done. have a good life. 12 Lady VS, Leepers, Bandista and 9 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl2586 3,053 Posted January 15, 2014 I have said this for four years and time and time again people would rather play with their lives and post here then contact their surgeons. I have my surgeons cell phone number and can call him 24 hours a day if needed. I have not had any issues in 4 years but you never know. I would never ask anyone here about pain of any sort, chest pain, shortness of breath, unable to eat or drink heck no. Those questions should be for your doctors then tell us the outcome. 6 Debbie3sons, BillieG, JOANNE M HOLL and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kll724 3,055 Posted January 15, 2014 Absolutely, I have stated I am not in the medical field, and don't know you or your band! I am here to assist after you asked your surgeon! Karen..aka..kll724 2 Bandista and ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyM 1,956 Posted January 15, 2014 Actually, I know the post you speak of. The original poster stated that she had called her clinic and they wanted her to come in on Monday. So no harm done with any advice that you might have given her or not have given her. She had already done what was necessary. 2 Bandista and JOANNE M HOLL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyM 1,956 Posted January 15, 2014 I think she was just hoping for some reassurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
