Your post is rather hard to read.

I'm not sure what you mean by "our rights". Unless it's life threatening and you're in an ER, a doctor does not have to treat you. So you really don't have any rights in that regard.

Is this the doctor who put in your band originally? Why is he referring you to another doctor?

well, i cant make out all you say either, but if he said find another doctor, then do it. ask his staff for referrals or google online or the phone book or call the local hospital and ask...but i hope you find yourself a new one and get a second opinion.

i must say to gain 45 pounds is not (only) because he took a fill out but also because you ate more calories than you burned off...

can he take the band out and do a sleve?

If you'll clarify exactly what you meant I maybe can help you with contact info....I'm just outside LR and pretty well know of every bariatric surgeon in The area. Which doctor s saying you need to find another doctor??

Sometimes when a doctor tells you to find another Dr the patient is not compliant in one way or another- such as the Dr telling them to quit smoking because its making their health worse but the patient won't do it. Were you progressing and doing well up until this point? I would find another doctor because it sounds like this one has pretty much wrote you off ....at least get another doctor and have a consultation
