@Cynisca, thank you for your honest opinion. I have always been a person that dots all my i's and cross my t's. I obtained one of the best bariatric surgeons in the state. He did an endoscopy and a barium test on me. The test came back and showed what I knew in my heart all along, there was way too much stomach left. So this doctor was not only rude, he failed to do my surgery correctly. Even though I feel this is an open and shut case of malpractice, all I want is my surgery done over and for my insurance company and the big group of doctors he works with to know what he did. My insurance plan did not cover revision surgery, but through God's grace, they approved me for revision. Now I'm in talks with the hospital. I told them I shouldn't have to pay another penny out of pocket for something one of their doctors didn't do right. The doctor I'm with now recently became apart of this group of doctors with my old surgeon. I prayed about it and asked him could he be fair with me and truthful about what his colleague did or didn't do. So far I have been very pleased with him. My revision surgery is January 21, 2019.

Amazing, so glad you advocated for yourself and so glad we don't just assume that everyone is just being dramatic and wave off things as the patients fault. Doctors are fallible too and these stories need to be highlighted.

Thanks for the follow-up. Please keep us posted. Safe upcoming surgery! 🎈

You have done an amazing job of advocating for yourself! Congrats! You knew what you went through wasn't right and you took action, I am happy for you! I hope everything goes great in January! The most important thing is to trust the dr you pick! I will never regret my choice to switch before surgery ever, I love my surgeon she was amazing!
