does any one know if an apron can be removed with out general anesthesia

I am the wrong one to talk to about not losing weight ,have been on the same diet forever and have not lost one pound and there is no doctor that I can see because of insurance , I hope that you try and get help soon as I feel that the whole thing was a lost cause.

does any one know any place in colorado that does fills using flourascope or xray

I to feel something is wrong with my port and I can't get an xray to find out . the doctor doesn't seem interested in trying to find out . I have not even seen him since surgery just his nurses and assistants, who would never ,ever consider that ther might be a problem. keep on fighting to get your port fixed as it might help all of us who are having problems

billiedaycare, you should check back with your doctor if you aren't feeling like you're full. don't let it go to long.

thanks pam ,I will try and get this straightened out next month. I will let you know what happens. I'm sure it's going to be a real lulu

to carol 134 was banded by dr. brown, I am unhappy with the communication and the results

join the club ,haven't lost any weight amd walking one mile a day. I don't think I will ever loose weight. It has been 1 year and 1 month for me . I never thought it would be this way ,very disappointed . I followed the rules also

you need a very good advocate to helpyou talk to your doctor, it has been my experience that they never listen to you when you know and feel that something is wrong . keep trying. it is very distreesing.

I wish I could get filled while using flourscope , my doctor does'nt use it and when I suggested this his fill nurse became very huffy. I am trying to find away to get it done I amm hoping that medicare will cover it

does anyone know if medicare covers the xray to see if your band is ok. I have been banded a year, not much weight loss and nurse practioner wants to unfill me without actually seeing what is wrong. I am wondering if I've ever been filled. the very first time I was filled it took the nurse 5 or more tries before she got the right spot and I have only seen the Doctor once after surgery. I went through so much to get this far. Anyboby got any ideas .

praying for you ,never ever give up

I am considering litigation so I can't be more detailed ,so buyer beware

Dr.Brown did my surgery , I am not having a good experience:angry:
