1 wk post op. visit--- A BIG THANK YOU to OH!

Wow, well I've been so worried about telling the surgeon about my not really knowing what  i am doing, but to my relief. we will be in better contact now. I went yesterday and he was happy with the way i and my weight loss was looking down 30lbs since Nov.

I can start on full liquids and maybe go back to work, if i feel like it, (I sit at a desk) I told him, I'll wait til next week when I see my PCP and then go back.  I can now drive too.

Sadly his office staff was about as blind as i was. Doc. says he knows there is a handbook I should have gotten through he's bariatric lady, but she was the one that messing everything up for the last 2 years with me, and I can only imagine how many others. that 's why they had her close up and leave.
 
So now the staff at his office have been trying to play catch up. All the paperwork is still not at the office, yesterday the woman said they don't know where the pre-cert. forms are for new patient to get the surgery. SO WOW they have there hands full over there. 

The good thing is i told him I have had great support from the people on this site and have been "winging it" with their advice since. He said call anytime with ANY questions and that he will find the hand book and send it to me.

So again I just want to say THANK YOU to every one for being so great and understanding. Your advice is not just asked for, but I have been taking it as well.  And with your help I will be a success at this and feel much better about my decision.

THANK YOU!

I think I answered you on the other board, but congrats again!

Rita,

Congratulations and I am so glad things are working out with your doc.  It sounds like they were turned upside down for a while but that it's getting better now.

Take care and keep in touch.
