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.

      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.
