  1. My band! It's been 4 yrs and I'm back up to pre surgery weight, and she said it's me, NOT the band. My band is so finicky I'm DONE. I want to have chicken, can I have chicken? Somedays, other days the tiniest bite will get stuck. SHe's like you have to chew and eat small bites...DUH DUMMY!!!!! People like her who have NEVER had to lose weight, she's like 90 lbs soaking wet, should not be in this profession. I went it once bc of port pain, and the answer I got was, " Im not sure why.." " anything else?" I was like no im outta here. So as soon as I get another barium swallow, I"m supposed to call her so I can get in to see Dr. Weisbach? I think thats how you spell it. I want to know though how many BAND=SLEEVES he's done. I have no other choice if I want this done, bc out in town even tho I'm standard, it's not a covered procedure.
  2. OMG, Is it Deb Romero? She's who I saw today and totally pissed me off AGAIN. She constantly keeps telling me that it's me not that band. That I should eat like a bird, etc. Shes crazy.
  3. Hey all! New here! Looking into getting my band out and revising to a sleeve. I HAVE to go to Balboa, bc thats who does sleeves. No one out in town is covered. I'm wanting to connect with anyone who has gone through their program? and what doc you had? Thanks so much!
