Changing Bariatric Team POSTop (MARYLAND)

Any experience changing to a whole new bariatric team AFTER your surgery?

I'm 8 weeks out and having an extremely rough go of it. I've been hospitalized twice postop for dehydration, I'm still not eating, barely keeping liquids down (lucky to get 16oz a day), totally bed ridden and miserable. My bariatric team is not taking this seriously enough and is not working proactively towards a solution.

I want to go to a new office, but I don't know how to begin. Any tips for finding a GOOD team? Anyone in the MD area have recommendations? I'm close to DC but willing to travel up to an hour or more for quality care.

Sorry for my delayed response, I was in the hospital for a few days (again.) But I am thankful to you both for replying.

@xoxococojay it's actually crazy but I did randomly end up with Dr. Brebbia!! I just went to a diff hospital this week to treat my dehydration and he happened to be there and helped me out. Your recommendation makes me feel even better about him now. Thanks!
