You would be a lot more successful if you can ask your doctor (the one leaving town) to refer you to another doctor while he is away. Did you ask him if he could do that?

Unfortunately, a lot of doctors won't provide fills for those that went to Mexico. As a nurse, I find this to be sour grapes since they will take your case if you have any other condition and were treated elsewhere and either moved or switched doctors. But, you are at their mercy. Good luck! I hope someone here can help you if your doctor can't do a referral.

      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! 😞
