I just left my PCM's office and I told her that I'm having the VSG done in Mexico. Lets just say she told me not to come see her if I have any problems. I told her I understand and I would go to the ER. I told her that I would come see her for any blood work and things like that. She said that would be follow up care and I can't come to her. Now correct if I'm wrong but I have the right to have blood work done. And I guess I will have to make sure I drink lots of Water because I would be S.O.L if I get dehydrated. I just don't know what to do. forumbox_top_left.gifforumbox_top_tile.gifforumbox_top_right.gifforumbox_left_tile.gif

I'm sorry you have a DR that is like that. That is totaly not right I think it may be time to find another DR that is more willing to take care of there patients.

When I went to the doctor for the first time after having surgery in

Mexico I told them everything and they just coded everything so my

insurance would cover it and they would also be covered. It was time

for me to have a yearly physical anyway and I needed test done for

that.

They are doctors out there that will work with you.

Good luck,

Gary

Thanks I agree with you all. But Im scared that the next Dr will tell me the same thing. Should I call around and tell them what im looking for?

Isn't this like, illegal for a doctor to do? You're supposed to provide a patient with a referral to another doctor if you are refusing to treat him or her. I wouldn't count "go to the ER" as a referral. Report the bag to the state medical board.

I agree, she is a b$%$ch, She is more interested in covering her a$$ than taking care of you. Get a new PCP

      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.
