Hi Marty, Thanks, my first response ever, I'm grateful. Unfortunately this is the only surgeon from my proivder that does lapbands. I had to even switch from my old provider that I had for over the last 15 yrs.to get this surgery. I was hoping to find a seasoned lapbander or one to whom would understand the lapband process. I need to know if the little plateau I'm in, is something someone else is going through! I'm 4 months out and have not had my first fill. This last dec. my surgeon didn't even see me when I went in for my monthly check-in..he told the nurse to send me home because I had lost 4 lbs. that month and scheduled my next appointment for 3 more months. It would also seem that the nutritionist was also busy. I have only seen her once in these last four months! When I have any questions no one returns my calls! I feel abandoned! I don't know what to feel because my body isn't mine right now..It has been changing so I don't know what normal is. I am losing hair..I have been dizzy..my vision has been fuzzy.. I am a little scared. I do have a pcp that I call...but I feel that my bariatric surgeon should care, am I wrong or impatient?
