Since I've been off work for a few I figured now is the time to make an appt with new Dr since my insurance changed and can't go to the Dr i started with. At about 9:15 am I left a message for the bariatric person. I haven't received a call back. Not sure if I should try again tomorrow or give them more time before I call again. Thoughts?

My doctor’s office in NJ usually doesn’t return my calls the same day. I’ve just learned that’s how they role. I would call again tomorrow.

Vadim Gritsus. He’s in Pequonnock and Paramus. I live in NY but used him for my (failed) gastric sleeve when I lived in NJ and I really like him.

It's not that. I wanted him but work recently changed insurance and he's not in my plan anymore

So I left a message just after 9 am yesterday and no call today and it's after 5 pm so I can't even call them. Guess I'll be leaving another message tomorrow

That’s a little worrying. I wouldn’t give them more than 2 chances to return the call.

Amen to that! There many many physician- fish in the waters of New Jersey. Don't settle for bottom feeders or being treated like pond scum. You deserve the best, and than does not include being ignored.

Met with Dr. I need to do an initial nutrition appt then 3 more before surgery. I need to do sleep test and Doppler of my legs. Then the psychiatrist. I need to make sure sleep study is covered. I don't want to get hit with a bill. Same with Doppler

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
