Help! Can't find a doctor to do a fill in my area!



Recommended Posts

Absolutely frustrated! I am a self pay patient and can't find a provider to do a fill! One scheduler even called me a liar when I said I had my surgery in CO. She said I'm sure you had it in Mexico and our surgeons don't deal with that! Then if I found a surgeon who will do out of state patients, they don't take self-pay! I need a fill!!!! I would fly to CO but Dr. K is out till Jan. 11 and I don't want to risk the snow and getting stuck in Denver. The thing is that I called these places before my surgery and they were all nice about taking over care, now it's the total run around that will take months!!!!!! HELP

Can you have your surgeon send you a copy of your records so you can prove you didnt' use a doctor in Mexico?

I am frustrated by the fact that people are so against Mexican docs. I guess because they have lower overhead they can do the surgery so much cheaper that it creates problems for them. I'm sorry you are having trouble finding a fill doc. Best of luck with it.....

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
