Enthusiasm Gone

That is one of my frustrations- different answers from everyone. I would pick a professional or group and stick with their advice. If you trust the bariatric nurse and your surgeon stick with them. You'll get a different answer every time you ask someone else!

Hi. I am approved by the psychiatrist, gastroenterologist, nephrologist and pulmonologist.
It was a bit difficult with the psychiatrist but I asked if I could continue seeing him for a while to help with medications, etc. When he said that my meds wouldn't work after surgery that really concerned me.
So, I got approved but have to work with the doc who prescribes my meds before the surgery. I will also do some research myself. We will be looking for the different forms of the meds - liquid, chewable, etc. We will also look at alternative meds to try if my meds stop working.
Ultimately we must be our own advocates.
Someone told me on here that really, he is a psychiatrist, not a bariatric professional. Therefore, I made an appointment for this Friday with the PA who works closely with my surgeon and I will discuss the meds issue with him.
I will come back to this thread and update you on what he said.
Talk soon. Nancy G.
