Hi all, Me again!

Hi, I wrote a while back and asked a bunch of questions. I'm back, my son is 100% cancer free, and I'm going to a new Dr.

I feel so much better about getting in to see the new Dr, and I am going this Wednesday! The nurse coordinator of the office called to ask me what was going on, and as I explained, she was flabbergasted! She said that I was totally mis-cared for, for the past 2 years. There is no way that a flouro for every fill is 'required'. There is no reason that I should have to wait 2 months between fills, and after having an EGD that said i have an acute prolapse, the Dr should have given me other options beside just unfilling me for 3 months!

So, we are going to check my band and see what is going on there because I am pretty much HUNGRY all the time. The only problem is when I eat a good solid meal, Protein and veggies, I puke my guts up. I am really hoping that the band is slipped again, cause then it is a no brainer to revise to the sleeve. This Dr is all for it, the old Dr wanted me to have a bypass. I so do not want a bypass! I think it is my body, my money, my insurance, so you should do what I want. I also called the old Dr's office because of the throwing up, and the nurse said, well you are schedule for a removal on June 14th, so just eat soft foods until then! WTF? the June appt was supposed to be a fix not removal. Then she says, you failed the band, you need a bypass! Now I am totally scared to death to let that Dr operate on me, I will come out with no band and that is not what i want.

Ok rant over, thanks.

What should I ask this new Dr on Wednesday? Are there specific questions that i need to ask in order to get a sleeve? I finally got my mom on board so I am really hoping to be able to have it done now!

thanks,

Patti
