  1. Thanks for everyones support. When I got off here I started researching some things and I am starting to feel better. I know I definitely need to pick up alot more excercise since I am at home with the kids. Chris 61 -I lost my insurance and COBRA was something we just can't do at the moment, my husband was out of work after being hopsitalized and barely started his job and his benefits won't start until after his 90 days. I haven't had a second fill and I was reading that it takes a few...alot of these things were never explained to me. Thanks Shortgal...I did alot of reading, found out alot. Like I said I feel a little bit better. Do I have to stay with the same surgeon or can I switch ?? I have soooo many questions and that Dr. is toooo busy to deal with them, they never get back to you...anyways...thanks again everyone!
  2. Hi everyone...this is my first time here...I had my lap band surgery on 9/12/07 and I either picked a wrong doctor or am not doing something right. I did not get good discharge instructions first of all and it has been nothing but trouble getting in touch with my surgeon after the procedure. I am so disappointed...I spent ALOT of money to do this....I have only had one fill and i have lost my job of 10 years and insurance since then....I lost more weight before my surgery(30#) than after...I lost in the beginning and then regained some back. Any suggestions as to what to do....I'm starting to get really down about this, not to mention my husband keeps asking what happened....he wasn't for me getting this done and I just keep hearing about how much money we've lost......:help:
