I made a point to inform surgical team about my severe allergy to tape on areas ex... my abdomen. But I still woke up from surgery with tape bandages on which created a miserable experience.

  I always feel as though the visits are rushed so I'm not sure why the wait is always so long.

  I felt that the doctor didn't take me seriously. I am having trouble with losing weight even after the surgery. I log my calories, protein and carbs. I exercise for over an hour, 4 days a week. The doctor said, start logging food, I said I did. He said exercise more, which he told me to the last time in May and I went from 3 days to 4 days that time. I felt like the was blaming me for not losing, when I believe It Is something else. I asked another question and he said, that doesn't pertain to the bariatric surgery. He spend all of 5 minutes in the room.
