Re: Re: Monday morning weigh in-a- Dr. Rumbaut????

a,

I found your original post and read it. It all makes sense...I had different doctor with Srinkanth as assistant...those 3 docs all follow approximately the same aftercare. I don't know why they don't go by regular band rules. They seem to have made up their own program. If I could go without milk and sugar, I wouldn't have gotten the band!

Were you referred to Rumbaut from Fox's office? Are you obligated to go Fox? This is a free country and it's your choice. Only you can choose whether you want to stay with Fox and follow his rules, stay with Fox and NOT follow his rules (what he doesn't know won't hurt him...it will just slow down your weightloss), or find another doctor. Since I was having an additional problem (refusal for a badly needed fill), I chose the later, and I couldn't be happier. I am in the process of writing my surgeon a letter to let him know exactly why I left, and hopefully I can help him improve his aftercare program. I'll tell you one thing...I sure wasn't told a lot of these quirky things when I first signed up! But then perhaps I didn't know any better. It was totally with the support of these email lists that I figured it out for myself and decided what to do.

Good luck with your decision and I wish you the best!
