Fill Doc Needed in MD (Bowie/Annapolis Area) or DC



Recommended Posts

Hello!

My last few appointments w/my doc have been crazy to say the least, long waits and rushed meetings w/doc. Today, I arrive for a fill ~ my appt was for 7:30a, however, it appears that 10-12 other people had the same appt time and the doc didn't arrive to radiology until 8:30a and started chatting w/a colleague. REALLY!!!!

I have a job; I can't sit around for 2-3 hrs waiting for you to get around to me. Unfortunately this isn't the first time this nonsense has happened and yes, I've discussed this w/him and his office staff. I'm starting to feel like the crazy lady... they look at me, make apologies and nothing changes. I'm so DONE!!!!

I need your help finding a new doc in my area for maintenance and occasional advice. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.

I really can't believe that I'm not going to continue this journey with the doc I started out with. I'm so very disappointed.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

My doc works out of Franklin square hospital north of Baltimore. So that probably won't help. There is a bariatric center at Washington hospital center. That might be closer to you.

      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.
