10 years
Hoping a few more will check in.
I went back and read my profile page, it's amazing to me how far I've come since surgery and how hard the last 10 years have been. I'm still a size 6 but everyday is a challenge as to what TAZ! Will let me eat. Low blood sugar, calcium deficiency, hyperthyroidism, a laundry list of autoimmune disorders just to name a few of the interesting things that have cropped up since surgery.
My surgeon 10 years ago said I had to agree to annual checks ups with him for life but seems to have forgotten that clause in the contract I had to sign. Now I haven't seen him for 2 years and I have no idea what my levels are.
How ow is everyone else finding their long term follow up care?
