Need a new Dr. ASAP...
Hi All,
I had my surgery on 4/8 to make a long story short I had complications due to surgeon error. I finally came out of the hospital on the 19th. I feel good and have no problem with stage 3 diet and am slowly going to start stage 4. I am down -18.5 lbs. Problem is I need to find a new doctor to follow up with since the surgery. I can't go back to my original surgeon ( not after what he did). I would rather not go into details about him because I am not that type of person. I live in Fall River and would like to get a Dr. that is relatively close to where I live, Can anyone recommend someone??? I would really appreciate it. It feels like I have no where to turn right now and I feel lost but I know that I need to be seen to make sure all is ok. Please help....
Susan - I am so glad to hear from you and I am so sorry to hear that you've had problems - Ive been waiting to hear how you made out. I have seen Dr. Bodner in Taunton and he was very helpful and understanding. There are also some doctors in Providence - try checking the RI website - what about your primary? can't they help? I live in Fall River as well and if there is anything I can do to help, e-mail me. Good Luck and I will keep praying for you!

Thanks everyone for the feedback. It looks like Dr. Bodner would be the next closest. It's just that I am not driving yet and would have difficulty getting to Boston to see anyone there. I just wanted to get some good feedback on Dr. Bodner and am glad that there are some positive comments on him. Thanks all and I am also going to follow up with my primary care physician. I am not sharing the experience with the physician because I don't know if there are legal implications if I start blabbing. I will get legal advice and if they say that I can share my story then I will.
