I had the lap band surgery in April 2006 and had one adjustment several months after the surgery due to a deep wound staph infection. I scheduled a second adjustment three times but Dr. Floyd's office kept cancelling then I received a letter stating that he was no longer doing that kind of surgery due to the high cost of malpractice insurance. I paid for the surgery up front - $15,000 borrowed from a health care loan company - because my insurance company refuses to pay for anything weight related. I am paying $396.57 a month for an unsuccessful lap band surgery - I lost only 30 pounds - and will be paying for the next 10 years on it! Where is Dr. Floyd? I called his office and they referred me to two bariatric surgeons who are demanding $1000-$3000 fee up front to take me on as a patient!!!! I am now having problems with my lap band - my stomach hurts, very sore. It flipped the second month and now I don't konw what to do. Nobody wants to take me on because of the potential liability situation even though Dr. Floyd is still liable since he performed the surgery. Dr. Floyd, where are you? Do I need to consult a lawyer and sue to get my loan taken care of plus whatever medical expenses I will incur as a result of this lap band??? Any suggestions, anyone? Email me [email protected]
