Very annoyed with band and Dr



Recommended Posts

I'm having a hard and confusing time with my band. I have a 10cc band and was filled to 6.2cc. I had my band placed in 2012 in Dallas. Since then my husband was relocated with his job. Now I'm about 7 hrs from my Dr so I found one close to where I'm at now. In Dec I got the stomach virus and was sick for 2 days afterwards I had the worse case of indigestion. I called the Dr that I see here and his nurse told me to take prevacid if it gets worse to call. It got better but at the end of January I got the Flu. After that I couldn't hardly tolerate any kind of food. I would feel really bloated some times I would have a lot of PBing but I could always tolerate fluids. This is where it gets really frustrated.------

I went to the Dr that I have here but I saw his nurse practitioner instead. She said it didn't sound like slippage and took out .2 cc and it hurt so bad when she accessed my port. It has never done that before but I felt like it was more of the NP than my port. So I called the Dr that put in the band in Dallas to see them and he usually does his fills under the florascope and I'm a self pay but he refuses to see me. His nurse said since I've been seeing someone else and they've accessed my port I need to stay with him. I'm scared my band has slipped and they are just looking over it. Please give me your opinion on what I need to do???

Sorry for the long rant I'm just confused and upset.
