Help! I'm so discouraged! What's wrong with me?

I am 100% in agreement that you need to see another doctor. You, or your insurance company, have paid him a lot of money to properly take care of you. You are the boss here, if he refuses to do a flouro on you, then find another good, reputable doctor in your area who will.

Gee, I would love to know where you were banded because this sounds exactly like the jackoff that banded me, and yes, I fired him. When I got my records, I discovered that the fills he listed did not match up with what he was telling me that he was injecting.

I got suspicious when I noticed that he was hiding the syringe in his hand and making sure I didn't see it before the "fill", so I went to another doctor. When they withdrew all the Fluid in my band, there were less than 8cc, he had told me a total of 12.5cc! They checked for leaks but everything was fine. Turns out, he was faking my fills!

I hope this is not the case for you, but you never know. Some surgeons have a God complex and the kind of things he is saying to you sounds just like the quack that I had. By the way, I am on the Eastern shore of Maryland if anyone is wondering.

Why would a doctor 'fake' fills? Just curious. Thanks :eek:

One reason was to shut me up rather than discuss whether or not I needed a fill, another could be to string out the number of fill until you get to your "sweet spot", after all, they are paid by the fill. Lastly, just because he's a jerk who gets off on control!
