    Need Advice

    Thank you for all of your advice. I have been diagnosed with an ulcer. But now I am fighting the insurance company because they will not pay for the meds I need. So I am not really sure what I will be doing just yet.

    Thanks for your help. I did reach out to the weight loss clinic. My doctor is no longer there. But I did get an appointment 2 weeks from now. I guess Ill just have to tough it out.

    I am 8 years post-op. I have lost over 200 lbs. I have had no issues with my surgery until approximately 6 weeks ago. Now on a daily basis I am throwing up about 80% of what I eat. PCP can not find anything wrong. Ive done blood work, cat scans etc. There is no pain just horrible nausea & throwing up. Can anyone give me an idea as to what the issue may be? Thank you for reading.

  6. Hello to all! I live on the VA-NC border...Richmond, VA and Raleigh NC are about the same distance from my house. I was wondering if anyone have an recommendations. I have a Dr. Bautista in Richmond...but none in NC. I am working on getting all of my insurances criteria covered but I need to start research doctors and talking with them. Thanks for any help you can give me.
  7. Hi! My name is Pamela. I live in the heartland of VA near the NC border. I am just in the planning stages of deciding if I am going to have surgery or not. I have been reading this website until my eyes are bleeding...LOL. Thanks for so much great information. I am currently severily obese. I have HBP, diabetes, and asthma. I take meds to control my HBP. I am currently on 2 meds for my diabetes and on a no sugar, low carb diet. I have lost some weight and my BS have lowered but are not where they should be. The doctor just put me on the 2nd med. We are giving it 2 months to see if it will help if not....I have to chose surgery or insulin. Personally, I don't want either. But I know that to live a long and healthy life I need to make a choice. I do have an appt with another doctor for a second opinion...but with the above factors I feel that he will suggest the same thing. I will keep you posted. I will be calling my insurance company. I want to see what all is needed. I can start the ball rolling just in case this is what I decide. That way when the time comes...I can have the surgery ASAP. Anyone with Raleigh doctor suggestions etc...would be welcomed. Any adviced will be welcomed. Thanks for reading. pamela:smile:
