Seeking new Surgeon and Support System - 1 week post-op

[TobysMom 2]

I had the sleeve done last Monday, October 19, 2015 and unfortunately I had the most horrible experience in the hospital and several issues post-op. Although I should, I will not, state the name of the hospital or doctor. This experience has had a horrible mental effect on me and I just can't move forward with the doctor or hospital as a support systems if I want to succeed. I now find myself looking for a new doctor to handle my post-op needs as well as a hospital or facility that will offer a support system for me. Is there anyone out there that can help or recommend anyone in the Baltimore area?

I began this journey excited with the chance to have a fresh start and motivated to help myself and to do everything necessary to be successful and now my spirit has been broken. I am just beside myself. I want to try and make this a good thing for me again and get past this so joining this site is my first step.

Thanks for listening.

I am extremely sorry to read your post, no one should have to go through additional emotional stress when there are so many other areas of stress you are coping with.

Is there any way for you to resolve your current feelings with what has happened with the surgeon and the hospital? If not, start making some phone calls to other surgeons in your area. Not every practice is willing to accept patients from another practice. I encountered this when I moved to another state.

You always have the option of reporting the surgeon and the hospital to the state board which oversees their operation and ethics.

I wish I could offer more insights...take care. I hope your situation can be resolved expeditiously.

I think yes you are write that name of doctor and hospital should not be disclosed.Well support systems should be bets where you can start your journey in all way.I can suggest you a list of openings as in surgeon.You can go through that process and get the best position you want.

Have you talked to your insurance company? They may have a list of surgeon's in their network. Be sure and find a center of excellence. Best of luck with your recovery.

Everyone has different experience with surgery, and not all surgeries go well. This doesn't mean your surgeon is bad or this will happen to you.

If you have concerns about her you can do some basic research here : http://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-christina-li-ygg5s/background-check

One bad experience doesn't mean your surgeon is bad nor does it mean it will happen to you.

I know my reply is late and you most likely had surgery but this doctor isn't mine....I hope you are happy with your progress.

I have been dropping weight but I've gone through a deep depression over the situation and stopped loosing for several months, I drop and gain the same 5 lbs. I'm sure people will say get over it but you don't know what someone has been thru until you've Wales in their shoes. Now I have an issue finding a new dr to do my follow-ups with.
