PLEASE HELP ME
Since you are in Milwaukee, I think, I would contact Froedert hospital & Medical College, Dr Wallace and Goldblat are both there. Dr. Wallace is doing my RNY in January. They are very qualified surgeons. Dr Wallace has done stomach surgeries since before they were Bariatric and should be able to help you!
I will pray for you but do seek help right away!

You first posted about this on 12/1/2009, it is now the 18th and according to your first post this had been going on for some time.
Please do not wait any longer, I am totally amazed that you are still untreated and still alive.
Go to the ER and have them get in touch with a DS surgeon, you have a life-threatening condition and you need to be treated, days ago. Your Dr. is an assclown, stop messing with him and get a real doctor to consult with the ER staff.

Tasha-
There is another girl who got switched by a doc in WI and it looks like he is in Waukesha which is much closer than anything else if you are considering going to another doc (AND IMHO YOU MOST DEFINTELY SHOULD). Anyway the doc listed is this:
Dr. David Engstrand, MD
22370 Bluemound Rd Ste 102
Waukesha, WI 53186
Phone 262-522-8300
I really hope you have done something about your situation already (since I don't see any recent posts from you since last night) but if you haven't and are still considering your options, please get a second opinion! Your Doc is seeming INCREDIBLY dismissive about a life threatening situation and is causing you too much pain and misery to trust him again. You have given him 2 chances...enough already. You have to be your own advocate and take care of yourself!
Please stay in touch and let us know that you are OK.
All the Best!
