Topic: RE: Anyone have surgery at Bristol Hospital???
Oh wow! I asked if there was another bariatric patient and the nurse said yes. I must have passed your room a few dozen times on my walks. I was in G south 23.
I got the sleeve, what did you get? How are you doing? I'm getting back up to snuff, slowly but surely. I'm still so sore!

I just had mine done last Tuesday (12th). Dr. G and Dr. O are THE BEST. And I love his staff. I felt I was in the best of care. And the nursing staff was amazing!

Topic: RE: Support groups
Bristol Hospital does one on the 4th Tuesday of the month. That may be a ways, but they are a pretty good group.

Topic: RE: Revisions & Dr.s in SECT
I don't really have any recommendations for you, exactly... but I was compelled because of your lack of replies...
I know many who have had revisions and their reasons are varied and complex... such as; mechanical failure, incompatibility of the surgery with issues, medical complications, weight gain, lack of sufficient weight loss, etc etc.
You should seek a referral to the surgeon of your choice from your PCP. Or, better still... go back to your original surgeon and talk. He/She will be able to refer you to someone who can do what you need if they can't assist you.
At this point, I don't think you should need any type of 'letter of recommendation' unless I'm missing something. You may need one when it comes down to getting approval from the insurance for a revision- but that's a bridge that can be crossed in the future.
Good luck to you.
