Perhaps it would be best to just ignor WASBAs negetive posts and only respond to her positive helpful posts. That way we could sort of 'drain the poison out'

jessie55 thank you and I'm glad I've been a support for you. So many good people have helped me too. We've taken a giant step for ourselves and :clap2:for our new start in life.

Hey, I have an idea. You have dodged every single question I have asked you while I do believe I have answered all your questions.

I have made one claim, a claim I'm pretty sure you verified and found was accurate. If you believe your docs stats are "poison" then why in the world didn't you check stats before having surgery? Poison is a pretty strong word, all things considered. And for posting the truth all you can do is hand out slams and insults. Is that the kind of "supportive" you want me to be too?

Sorry, not gonna happen.

Yep, a lot of us are having a bit of kick back time and some fun. Instead of coming up with various IDs you should try have a little fun once in a while as well. But these IDs merely go to prove my point about Dr. G people coming up with a new ID more often than you change your underwear.

If you think you are doing him any favors you are in error.

I said it to you directly over at the other post, but it needs said here too.

You seem to think its acceptable to troll the newbie posts, answer one of their questions then race over to the above linked thread and make fun of them. That is exactly what you have done. I know you need to keep coming up with drama to stir up every three minutes for eight hours at a stretch, but I believe you have stooped lower than usual.

You seem to believe now that posting on this thread around the clock every day is your job. it isnt.

People can talk about things that have nothing to do with you, and i know you find it impossible but you CAN leave them alone to do it.

Here's my goal: leave people alone to talk about their subjects without your agitation. If i could wave a wand and have something come true, it would be for you to stay over on your rants and raves section where you belong and let the people who need support or information actually find it without your drama.

is that clear enough for you?

You see, im just being honest and direct. Im asking you for what i actually want from you. Go away. Theres a newbie on the rants and raves section who desperately needs help you can go and drag around to make yourself feel better, you poor poor woman.

I read what 'bewaremexico' wrote and it is so out of character of Dr. Gonzales that I have a hard time believing it. It sounds like a patient co-ordinator of another doctor wrote it.

I agree. I don't know who Grace or Isaela is either. You would have thought that if the person was having that many problems that they would have contacted Dr. G or Dr. V directly, or even Laura. I was given their contact information (phone number, e-mail address) and I am sure everyone else is given the same info. They have called me several times just to check up on me, and every time I've had a question pre and post op, I have received an answer within a very short time.

Well I was banded by Dr. Gonzales in Mexico, on April 17 2007 and two months or so later I got an infecton at the port sight. You can read my thread on this "Banded by Dr. Gonzales and almost died". I went through hell, the band was removed here in the US an I was hospitalized twice. The first time for one week, they took the port out and tried to clean the infection. They were going to try to replace the port because I di not want to give up the band, I was loosing weight. But then in November I ended up in the hospital for three weeks and had two surgeries of which the last one they removed everything all together because it had eroded into my stomach. I kept on going back to Dr. Gonzales so he can help me and all he did was give me medicine and say it woulg get better, but it didn't just kept on getting worse. And now I call them or e-mal thenm and I get no response. So please choose wisely, they gave me the good care until things started going wrong they all they did was ignore the problem. To this day I am trying to contact them short of going back to TJ and they will not respond to me. They did not even sa ysorry for everything I have been through.

:biggrin::rolleyes2:

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
