Oh you poor thing. I am sorry to hear all that. Have you thought about going to another doctor?

Their is no Doctor here that will take any of his patiences

My word! Are they afraid of law suites? It seems like maybe you could go to the medical board or something if he is a quack.

I have been having the same types of problems with my doctor. The last two times I have been in to see him I have had problems. I went in earlier this week and was told I need to go for a barium swallow and to see a dietician. The only problem I have been having is that I have a tight 4cc band and should never go over 1.4cc, but the doctor keeps insisting that I get 2cc's. Then I am over filled and have to go back in for an unfill. Instead of just taking out a tad bit out he then takes out everything, so that I have to go back and pay to once again get a fill. I am in Texas and am wondering who your doctor is. Everytime I go to my doctos office I hear others complaining about the same types of problems.
