My first official R&R...Bandsters who dont know a damn thing about banding



Recommended Posts

I guess I'd refer you back to post #179, you know... the post you declined to respond.

Some people whine about others helping while the others dig in and help. Which side are you on?

Oh wait, I've read your posts. I know.

I'm on the side of crying in the fetal position. Wait. Is that the wrong side?

Seriously, I didn't see any response to me at all--I saw a sea (a sea) of private conversation that I just wasn't privy to and it went on and on--no matter how far back I clicked. So I just didn't see your post and I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to ignore you.

I've never, ever had 50 PMs at one time ever. And if I did I'd probably pretend I'd died or something. So I have no doubt you are incredibly supportive and informative to many people who enjoy conversing with you.

Carry on.

And yet ANOTHER ID of Christines proving me right once again. :eek:

Got it! They went through a whole lot of trouble just to make themselves look like an ass. :car:

Zitro, who is your doc so I know to steer clear? :)

Yeah, that post took a lot of deception and half truths to write. That one must have taken days worth of research.

One point was that I said "X" price was a good price. To look at the bits that were posted it was inferred I was referring to my own doc. That was a question about a US doc and I said it was a good price.

She's annoyed because I don't know what everyone in Mexico and the US charges? Including my own doc? I don't, my surgery was almost a year ago and prices have changed. But I'm a coordinator because I don't know all the prices of every doc.

Another is about a 14 year old that asked if her insurance would cover surgery. I responded by suggesting she talk to her parents, then research the band, then I responded to her actual question. To read Christine's version it looks like I was pushing a 14 year old into surgery.

Another was something I wrote about Ortiz. The bulk of the post was positive about Ortiz... his stats are great, his patients love him, etc. She forgot to include that part.

One time someone asked opinions on Ortiz, Rumbaut, and another. I wrote that my personal preference was Rumbaut and Ortiz. I didn't even mention the 3rd because he's not the greatest doc in Mexico. I didn't explain that, but that's what I wrote. Then I was accused of being a patient coordinator for the doc I did not suggest.

I could go through that post bit by bit and post the rest of the story but then I'm playing with trolls. Sheesh... I wish she would go back under her rock.

I'm tempted to write everything I know about her doctor.

I'm telling you, ever since I posted a thread on how to research doctors the coordintors are throwing bloody fits. Well, if they aren't doing anything wrong, why not use one of their other many IDs? The IDs they post on their doctor's thread using?

Of course--that comment was meant in good humor--I LIKED that movie! LOL I'd be the Mean Girl who gets walked all over and secretly feels sorry for all the victims. It's a curse, I can't help it.

And I'd wear lots of mascara.

By private I meant--all inside jokes and personal banter. After clicking past like 10 pages I figured the thread had been hijacked and the plane was going down.

Indeed.

In case of a plane crash, one must assume the brace position and pray that anyone comes out alive.

But they weren't inside jokes. Many of us have very publicly been bashed for actually getting off our asses, and working with our bands and losing the weight. That's all out there for the public to consume. Nothing private or inside 'bout that I am afraid.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
