Omg i so agree with everyone else. This is not a once size fits all. i know someone who never needed a fill, some who needed a few and some who needed more. Is there another nurse at the practice? Please find somone to help you so you dont suffer. You have done so good!!

Don't have it removed. You find another Doctor. Don't even go back there. Fight for what you want. You are doing this for you, not them. Get tough!

Hey I got you as a friend now . Cool yes I'm going to try and find another doctor , I'll have to travel farther away , but guess I got to do what I got to do

Do you mind me asking how old you are?? I was looking at your BMR and used my age (38).

How much do you exercise? I was also looking at the HArrison Benedict equation for how many maintenance calories you "should" be getting. For example... your BMR was 1925.95... multiply that by 1.35 ( light exercise 1-3 days a week) and you would need 2605 calories a day to maintain weight. Starvation mode kicks in after a sustained period of time below 50% of what your body needs.

I know they holler about 800 calories, but again, it isn't a once size fits all plan. Many people here will tell you they need 1200 minimum... heck, even MFP yells if you are under 1200.

I try to stick around 1000-1200 a day. Honestly, there are days I slip and eat "bad" things, but I log EVERYTHING. I am trying to address my sugar intake now b/c MFP tells me I am above my allotment often.

It's definitely a multi-faceted approach that's necessary.

And please, please, please don't think I am "preachy." I am as down to Earth as you can imagine. I just want to help you get this going. BTW... I work in a hospital.... the experience you described is RIDICULOUS!! I am offended for ya!

And I thank you , belive me , I need all the help I can get , yes I exercise I walk 2 hours every day , I got 7 dogs that I walk everyday down the tracks , down the bike path and around the block and back home, that's pretty good for me considering not to long ago if I could walk to my front door I was doing good,

no one will take it out unless causing you added health problems I would have complained long before this. The nurse is wrong and they r there for you, you paid them a lot of money for this and you should be able to use it right. Call Monday and ask for the manager and tell them your story if they don't do something right now for you tell them you want a referral and you plan on call the better busness and the AMA they need to learn how this band works and use it correctectly.. make it a big fuss.. M<y doctors office hired a new nurse when I was due for my first fill and she was giving me the talk that your nurse did I felt some pressure but I told her I wanted my first fill like promised she agreed but couldn't find the port so had to call the doctor in. I started asking him about what she had said and he corrected her right ther e. The next time she had a whole different view I havea 10 cc band with 6.5cc in it and its doing the job and I could have gone in in 14 days for a bit more. Do read every word here cause she isn't telling you the right thing...
