I need a patient advocate or advice

I'm having a small problem with my lap band. My surgeons stiches on the port came loose and his office doesn't think he should be responsible for fixing it because I was a cash pay patient and my "surgery was so deeply discounted, they won't cover the complication!" 

I'm just now hitting my 90 days post-op.

I need to talk with someone about my patient rights and the doctors responsibility in this fiasco.
Any and all ideas or advice welcome.

im not sure about your doc but my they are cool for 1 year any complication the surgeons fee is waived but everything else the hospital and anything like that i would have to pay. I was lucky bc my insurance covered everything else. I hope that helps talk to the doctor directly maybe he could waive or reduce his personal fee or maybe it is something that he can fix in the office or outpatient so you do not have ALL of the additional cost of the hospital stay.

I know this much you are suppose to have 90 days after surgery where if you have a problem or have to be seen its covered....rather its cash or insurance.sounds like you need to check your states laws concerning this and print it off take it to the surgeon and make him or her eat crow....
thank God my surgeons would never do that to me...I had to have emergency surgery and was not charged for it
