Hi Jenn,

Yeah, i tried that.  Most had their surgery 2 or more years ago and he's changed his practice since then from what I've been told.  That's what I have questions about! Thanks though.

I had Dr. Legha in May.  He seems very knowleable and I was happy with him.  I think his support staff is good, he has a support group, and they took care of everything with the insurance.  I had no problems with anything.  I did have some pain about 8 days after surgery, and he saw me right away.  He immediately had me take a CT Scan to make sure I didn't have any blood clots in my lungs, which I didn't.  It was probably my asthma, since I had stopped my bronchial dialator medication (I couldn't stand the taste when it was crushed so that I could take it after the surgery!)  I was impressed that he wasn't taking any chances, and took care of it immediately!  I'm not really thrilled with the nutritionist, but I can work with her. Any specific questions you have, go ahead and PM me.  If you like, we can get together and talk over coffee or something.
