Post fundoplication question. In 2019 I had a toupet fundoplication with hernia repair. Since 2020, I have been suffering from documented malnutrition and sporadic dehydration that requires an ER visit. I’m currently a Mayo patient but my GI doc refuses to intervene. Mayo patient services refuses to help me get a new GI doc-or a second opinion.
How did everyone get their doctor to help them with malnutrition and dehydration? I also have profuse sweating as in dumping syndrome and my doctor wants to give me estrogen-even though I’m post menopausal, evidenced by blood work. My colon is never empty, according to imaging but no doctor will clean me out-enemas don’t do it.
I have literally been starving to death for two years.
How do you get doctors to help?

Do you have a primary provider, are they giving you any advice?
Have you considered seeking a second option at a non-Mayo facility?

Estrogen for GI problems seems like an odd solution.
