Why I'm considering a lawsuit...



Recommended Posts

Only a money grubbing lawyer who has no interest in your success would take the case. It sounds like you don't even really have a case. Nothing went wrong from what I read in your OP.

Even a money grubbing lawyer would not take that case. He or she would not make a dime, because there is no case.

I am a lawyer who does some plaintiffs med mal work. I can tell you that there is no way that I would take your case on a contogency or for a fee. The primary problem that I see is that you have not followed your doctor's instructions by not getting fills. In my opinion you would have no chance to win.

Find the money for fills and odds are the band will start working for you. Hell, I find that the money that I am saving in food more than offsets the cost of fills.

This is so true!!!! Good point!!

One of the earlier posters on this thread suggested that the thread starter rlynn, posted a scam! Maybe but either way, we have to assume that since rlynn has never replied, we must have chewed her up and spit her out enough that she is likely not reading these any more. My hope is that we planted a seed of hope.

Today is my 6 month bandiversary and I am so happy still that I made this decision. I am getting a hold on my food issues, and I am caring less and less about food. It is true that it is not a picnic all the time, but I have learned so much. Here is to the next 6 months. My goal is to be at goal by September..... Here goes............ Hugs........

You have to give the band time. With only 1 fill under your belt, of course youre not going to loose a lot of weight. I (like a lot of others) had to have several fills before I was able to tell a big difference. You also have to believe in yourself which by your post, and what you have told your sister, you don't believe in yourself?

Why would you even consider legal action if you aren't willing to do your part and continue with your fills? I understand that the fills are pretty expensive I think at my doctors office it's like 100 bucks a fill. Cant you just give up something when you know you need a fill and spend the money on that instead?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
