So go get the test again & then they will get u in. In the meantime why not see your primary if you are having problems, they did sign the paperwork stating they would provide you care after your surgery. While I know the answering system in his office is a pain, don't let that discourage you in recovering & receiving proper care.

@ new i guess i am alittle bothered that i can't get to see the dr. and i have to arbitrarily subject my self to further radiation diagnosed by some one with out a medical degree, because they failed to treat me the first time, and my symptoms have not changed. i saw my primary monday. you don't want to know what she said.

Did your primary suggest you get a second opinion from a second bariatric doctor? If you are that unhappy with the care you are receiving then you have every right & reason to do so. However, never having seen you before they would (should) send you for tests to find out what/if there is a problem. But of course this is just my opinion.

      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.
