new lap band doc

I got back on the horse after being screwed royally by my first lap band dr. Decide to go with Dr. Holliver since I want the single incision, no scars. This is what made me decide to go throgh all this again, I saw my spring break vacation photos I look like a beached whale. I hope this dr doesn't bail before surgery like the last now I have to worry about this the whole time. I was niave the first time now my eyes are open. My husband is still against it as are all my family. Oh well.

napoleon the ego maniac

O.k. your not going to believe this little napoleon thinks I still want him t operate on me accrding to the investigator from the dept. of health. He was forced to send me my medical records, they fabricated stuff regarding attending groups and following a diet for a year . I'll assume this was for insurance approval. Of course no one ever asked me to attend a group or check on following a diet, I stopped seeing the nutritionist after I got a $400 bill for one session because I didn't want to pay that since everyone at the seminar was told it cost $25 per session. Of course I wouldn't let this dr. (I use the term loosely) touch my dog let alone me. I just want him to be accountable for his actions because obviosly he thinks he's above it. Oh, and he told the investigator that he cancelled my surgery because my husband was threatening with the office manager. This is not true he asked him to go by "the Book" and wanted a financial break down of out of pocket expenses. Anyone who knows the office manager knows she's no shrinking violet. What are they trying to hide over there? That their playing fast and furious with the insurance companies and peoples lives to make as much money as possible. This is my opinion but shorter men always have to prove themselves because they feel inferior but dr. g.'s ego is tall enough to make up for his lack of height. I never heard so much self promoting hype in my life. I feel very fortunate that i was spared from surgery with this second rate dr. These are my opinions based on my personal experience with this dr. and other people may have a different experience.

took your advice

O.K. I took your advice and filed a complaint I will keep you updated. I still don't have my medical records. I have to go back to work today. Probably will take a couple of weeks for them to process this. Anyway, I can't decide if I should go to another dr. or drop the whole lap band thing. Unforunatley, I can't go to the dr. I want because of insurance.

this is what happened

I called admitting to find out the time of my surgery which was scheduled for feb.1. they told me i was not on the schedule and to call harriet the office manager. i called her , she called back and told me dr. would not be doing the surgery and she is not at liberty to tell me why. I get a letter stating dr. patient relationship is broken. I do not understand what he is refering to so i call harriet she tells me she can't tell me and to go to dr. braithwaite. i tell her i can't do this because of insurance. believe me he was my first choice because he has a phenomenal reputation and that is the kind of dr. i want but i had to settle for this self promoting quack. So anyway I'm getting bored of my own story just trying to help others so they don't make the same mistakes.

Dr Gabriel sucks

Do not go to this doctor he will waste all your time and change his mind 2 days before surgery. Now Ihave to find another doctor and redo all my tests. The only up side is I went to Bobby Vans and dined on filet migon , wine and champagne for v-day. I'm still mad but my husband is buying me stuff to make up for ruining my surgery. I think this dr. has a napoleon complex. I know what goes around comes around. Karma is a bitch. Gottta go people coming for dinner.
