    My mom is not well

    We live in Texas. She had her gall bladder removed years before the bariatric surgery. The bariatric surgeon has done an endoscopy on her about 8 weeks after the surgery and he said there was no issues whatsoever. I am having so much trouble getting her to a new dr for a second opinion because she is on Medicaid and no bariatric drs accept this insurance. The only reason she was able to have it done in the first place is that her PCP deemed it medically necessary. Her surgeon works at Texas Tech University Health Science Services, so I thought they would be a legitimate resource, but her dr doesn’t seem to wanna even treat her anymore. She is actually in the hospital right now admitted. I had her in the ER on this Sunday past, and they did emergency surgery to remove a kidney stone, and they still havent released her yet because they haven’t got her potassium and magnesium levels correct plus they are attempting to correct her nausea issues once again (not her bariatric dr treating her btw even though his office is across the street). The hospital drs said they spoke to bariatric dr and he said it’s all in her head. thanks for all the responses, it is truly appreciated
  2. My mother had the sleeve surgery done in may of 2017. It is now October of 2017, she has lost over 100 lbs, but she hasn’t eaten anything at all in over 4 weeks. Her fluid intake is minuscule. I’ve had her in ER over 20 times to get hydrated. The surgeon has done all tests and everything has came back normal. She just recently had kidney stone as result of chronic dehydration, they removed it successfully. She has horrible nausea and vomiting. She can’t keep anything down at all, none of the Zofran, phenegran, or any other nausea medicine works. She is bi-polar and was put in a mental treatment facility for 3 weeks because she can’t cope with it all. She came out even worse I feel. She has atrophy so bad in her muscles that she can’t hardly walk. I’m scared and have no idea what to do. I’m thinking of going to Colorado and buying her some kind of marijuana pills, to maybe soothe her nausea and help create some appetite. I know it’s illegal in my home state but I’m to the point that I don’t care about that. Has anyone used marijuana to help this?? I know that nausea and vomiting are commonplace after the surgery but 6 months later and still getting worse! She’s says to me that she would’ve rather died obese than live through this.
