My doctor lied to me

[Newme17 3,444]

Oh boy. I would be livid. I hope you get a great outcome from this.

I hope so I will teach him a good lesson !

Wow, this is more than malpractice, it's fraud, possibly criminal. Speak with an attorney and see if they think you should report to the police or at the VERY least the local medical licensing authority.

[Mama V 23]

This is definitely something to contact a medical malpractice attorney about!
Just out of curiosity, have you lost weight?

[njgal 535]

Oh man! I can't imagine the disappointment, never mind problems trying to trust another doctor... ever. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope it works out for you.

Yes I have everything and I don't know what kind of lawyer to reach! I am so depressed and confused!

Call the county bar association in the county where you had the surgery and ask them for a medical malpractice attorney. The County Bar will have a referral group that will provide you with 3 names which will do consultations. Interview them and then research them before signing a fee agreement.

On another note, I am so sorry that this has happened to you. I just don't have words. You also may want to contact the state medical licensing authorities - sounds like this doc needs to lose his license.

Where at in Cincinnati? That's where I am supposed to have mine done.

This is outrageous! Please keep us updated with the outcome. I can't believe it. So aweful!

So which doctor was this? The doctor isn't the only person in the surgery room. Everyone else was in on the con? This is kind of hard to believe.

I couldn't believe until I had the endoscopy my new bariatric surgeon showed me the pictures of my stomach no change no show of the sleeve, don't think he will lie to me and himself into trouble. How do u explain I didn't loose any weight ?

This doc is in Cincinnati, ohio.

So after your surgery, you didn't feel any restrictions as far as eating goes? That is just sad and scary that you went through this!

[change050117 7]

So sorry you are going through this. What made you wait so long without any results to finally do something? 4 years of no weight loss, no feeling of restriction and worsening pain is a very long time. I can only imagine your tolerance of pain for you to go so long without medical treatment or advice.

Yes, you've already said that it was in Cincinnati. I've researched all the bariatric surgeons in Cincinnati (there isn't that many). Name the doctor.

I would make sure you get examined & imaged by a few doctors to ensure they all say your stomach is normal and was not previously altered (surgically).
