Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Hi all, thank you all so much for all of the helpful suggestions. I took one of the suggestions about checking to see if this Dr. was part of a group and remembered that his brother is also a surgeon and still pratcing in LA. I called him and found out that my doc sold his pratice to another doc in 1991. The brother was very helpful and gave me the new doc's name and number. He also appoligzed for his brothers behavoir and told me that they haven't spoken in 8 years. He didn't say why they weren't speeking but did give me the impression that it has a little to do with the fact that his brother is an A**. I did share my story with him about his brother giving me the run around and he said that he was not suprised. He suggested that I call the new doc to see if the files were destroyed. I called her and she confirmed that they were destroyed in 1998. She said that it was his responsibility to contact me in 1991 to get my files, and he did not. I may have a glimmer of hope, I contacted my former surgeon (the one that did my VBG) to get my records from him. Hopefully the letter this doc wrote for me in 1995 will be in there. I will use it if it is. If not I will drop the issue. I have plenty of diet history, but wanted info. from as far back as possible. On one short note, I was given the ROYAL A** CHEWING from my VBG surgon yesterday. He totally disagrees with BPD/DS. He said that it was too restrictive as far as eating goes. I informed him that I felt very restrictive " now " because all I can tolerate is high fat, high sugar foods. He said he knew what my problem was, that I was eating too fast and not chewing enough. WHAT DOES HE KNOW???? He hasn't seen me in over 4 years. I DO CHEW more than most and I always take 30 minutes at least to eat. And it is not much at one time. OK I've said enough, sorry. I needed to get this off my chest. I WILL GET SWITCHED ONE DAY!!!!! Thanks, Roxanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
