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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
