My insurance is Medicare and medcal , and they approved the operation , just this doctor that I only talked to twice refused me but the nurses I'm sure that I'd seen for the whole year talked to him . So he had to know something's about me , it's in the medical records right? Idk ? Just wish I would of went else where . The hospital was great there they was wonderful and very nice tho,

I'm two weeks with a band , and I broke down and drink a diet Pepsi had no problems at all.

I started out 300 lbs now 282 lbs and 5'4 and 53 years old , do u think there was more to why he refused my bypass. ? He won't tell me any more.

Thank you, yeh I was kind of thinking the doctor was being alittle mean, my normal doctor ref . Me for gastric bypass and sac at the time in calif. was the closes place where I could get one. I went thur a whole year if jumping thur hoops and testing , the a week and a half before my surgery , the doctor in formed me that he decided that he didn't want me to have the gastric bypass and that I could have the lap band. Believe me I was so upset , felt like he took my only hope away. I asked him why and he just would say mumble mumble that he decided that it was for the best and something about that after the operation people go thur a depression stage and because I'm manac depressed , bipolar and have pts. That I would Probaly get way to depress , and wouldn't be able to handle the depression, even the my phyic doc. Wrote two letter sAying that the operation would benefit me more then do harm, Nd yes I take AntidepressNts , Nd I have reg doc appointments with my shrink . I was wondering sense this one doc decided that he didn't think I could handle the depression stage. And refused to give me the gastric bypass, and now sense I have a lap bAnd in me. Does that mean that I can't go to another doctor nd check into getting the gastric bypass? That this is final because of one doctor? I really feel I would benefit from the bypass more. I'm trying to give the band my best I can, but it very discouraging when the doctor tells me that the growling and hunger pains are all in my head,, and he feels like I'm not trying hard enough . He said he doesn't like to give fills and I'll be lucky if I get even one fill. I wished I did go somewhere else , sense this doctor refuse my bypass does that mean that's it,? That it over? There will be no doc that would want to operate on me now or what? I just want to make sure if this doesn't work that I still have the options of going to Another doctor and removing the band only if it doesn't work and get the bypass.? I praying the band helps me, please lord? Just cause one doc thinks I won't be able to deal with depression , even tho my shrink told him diff. Does that mean all other doctors are going to feel that way? Is there certain phyic rules they have to go by?
