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.
