Hello everyone it has been a long time since I have posted on the forum. Since having my surgery over 2 years ago I have been losing a lot of weight. I originally started at 255 pounds and now I am down to 115 and thats on a good day. My veins in my arms are showing and my bones in my neck are sticking out. I cant stand to look at myself, I did not have insurance for a long time and just got some back, but it is not HIP medicaid which is the one that Dr. Roslin takes it is health first. I tried contacting doctor Roslin to see if I could come in but they stated i needed to have insurance therefore I basically was on my own. I would like to know if there are some protein shakes or anything that can help me to gain a little weight, I cannot drink any milk products or eat anything that contain sugar because I realized it will give me the runs and bad gas sorry I know TMI. And please don't think that I am ungrateful because I am not I love the DS I just know that I have lost too much weight and am continuing to lose no matter how much I eat which are basically still small portions at a time but it is constantly all day. I will go to my PCP doctor this week to get labs done to see how bad off I am I am also afraid of the results. Any and all feedback will be appreciated, Thank you In Advance.

Did you try to email Dr Roslin directly instead of talking to his office?
Also I think I heard that his partner Dr Yatco still accepts Medicaid so perhaps you can schedule time with him?
Also - how tall are you? (Just trying to figure out how underweight you may be)
Can you give us an idea of what you eat during the day? If you have problems tolerating certain foods it can make anything "run through you", and difficult to absorb anything. Let's see if we can help you with some practical ideas, and also help you get into see a doctor. I think Dr Roslin would help you via email, and may be able to see you. You also have some different options for other doctors in NYC.
