band removed but can't "keep" the band?

DeLarla · January 11, 2006

Craig from Inamed returned my e-mail today and said they haven't received my band, nor can they force surgeons to send it to them. He asked for permission to contact my surgeon. I told him that Inamed was more than willing to inspect it as long as they returned it to me when they're done. Let's see where the ball bounces.

Everyday when I think about how much money I still owe on that worthless LOPEZ surgery......it boils my blood. Now, I owe an additional $15,000.00 to my credit card for Dr Billy to do my revision! That $9,000.00 I threw away for Lopez to botch my surgery, was a total waste. I wish I would have just gone to Billy in the first place. The reason I wrote was to say that when Billy took out my slipped Lopez band....he gave it to me. It sits in my sock drawer.

Lopez failed me back in 2003.

Dr Billy fixed me in Jan 2007.

Those of you who praise the wonders of Dr Lopez have just not had your problems yet. Just wait. He will ignor you just as he has done the rest of us. I was confused at first also. P.S...who does your fills? Lopez PROMISED he would personally do my fills. I never saw the man again. He had his flunky asst. do it.

Delara,

Please add my name to your list of people who have been hurt by Lopez.

Warmly,

Christine

This is soooooo true!!! Problems may not arise immediately, but they will. Lopez really should have gone into the mortuary business instead of medicine. All Betancourt docs should and that includes Huacaz or however you spell it. Most people come out of surgery singing praises but in time, they learn the truth.

Huacaz even does plastic surgery, he's not a plastic surgeon. How nice.

sugarbear: About your second thoughts, please remember that the incidence of complications with the band is very low. It seems like more because this is where we come to get support when we need it. Most bandsters are just out living their lives and not posting.
