only place I can vent

Mar 07, 2013

I come here to vent and hopefully help others? it's been since 02/8/2013 since I saw my Surgeon for a fill and since I had no idea the shoulder pain was connected to my Band I haven't been able to ask him what is going on. But in the process I have learned I am Vitamin D deficient (blood test ) confirmed this. Now I've been having problems with heartburn after eating and when I can eat it usually feels uncomfortable and I'm not eating anything . I believe that in Oct 2012 something happened to my band a SLIP? perhaps since that is when I started to have shoulder pain and heartburn.  I've read that we are supposed to be on a Diet of 600-800 Calories and I'm seriously LUCKY to be getting in 400-500?  I called the office to ask if I could talk to the doctor but as usual I was told he was NOT in the office ( I hear this allot) I said well I just want to be able to talk to him I Don't want a fill since I can't eat to begin with and they said well just keep your appointment on 03/08/2013 because we don't have anything sooner.  I've dropped 20 lbs in 4 weeks and in the last 4 days developed a nasty metallic taste in my mouth  and can't actually TASTE anything except salt at times,which I believe to be MORE vitamin deficiencies. So I'm hoping that tomorrow being my appointment I'll get some answers BUT again I'm doubtful since it's all about the MONEY and not what is best for the patient when a Lap band is concerned.. and I don't DOUBT he will send me for some Fucking tests, because again of all the complications that CAN and DO occur with a  Lap Band nothing ever seems to be conclusive when they do the tests they always seem to say EVERY THING IS FINE and most LB problems are found when they do exploratory surgery blush
