If you were losing 1-2 pounds per day for " a couple of months", that would be around 60 pounds ?

Doctor who sees you for two visits in the same week and then says go away , you have no insurance?Something is not right?

Were you self-pay? If you paid everything up front, what was the aftercare supposed to be/cover?

Aftercare is so important.

Wouldn't you be considered an emergency surgery? If this is a blockage?

Doesn't this hospital have other surgeons?

I think there is something else going on in this very bizarre situation.

Call an attorney, even an ambulance chaser can handle this stupidity. Ask for a hospital advocate.

This is ludicrous!

Posting on behalf of my sister Krismo83! This whole situation is exactly that UNBELIEVABLE! Her drs washed their hands of her and told her to go to a county hospital because she has no insurance.

Update: My sister had her surgery this morning and is now in recovery. They removed the band.

To those of you who prayed for my sister I would like to say Thank you! Her band was removed this morning and the blockage is gone. She was able to keep down a cup if Water tonight and she said it was great to feel it go down.

To those of you who are doubting that what my sister has gone through is true or not. It is 100% true!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
