I have an HMO and our medical goup was bought out by UCLA Healthcare.  Our family was assigned to a new medical group and all of our doctors are with the new medical group except my husband's rheumatologist and my surgeon who did my Realize Band.  It's turning out to be quite a pain in the butt.  The new bariatric surgeon requires me to go back to my gastroenterologist for another endoscopy before the new bariatric surgeon gives me a fill.  I dread the thought of being put under anesthesia because I am alway nauseated and start vomitting after being given an anesthetic plus I have no time I can take off from work for this.  Anybody else ever go through the headache of having to find a new surgeon?

Can't help you with finding another doc but if you tell the anesthesiologist that you get nausious they can give you meds in the "****tail" to keep the nausea away and give you some to take home too if needed. Good luck!
