Topic: RE: No follow up care
Hi Jan,

I don't like my program and have chose not to go back for followups. I took a list (that I got from Andrea U. on the RNY Board) to my PCP and she writes the lab slip. We look it over together and if I have any concerns I bring them up on the RNY board, there are some great people on there that have done a lot of research and know their stuff.

 Your own primary care physician can do your follow up it is mostly   labs

check vitamin d level   iron level  b 12 levels and other  things.

Topic: No follow up care
Hi all,  It has been some time since I have been on this site.  I thought this would be the place to go with my issue.  So, I had Dr Aslam do my RNY 10 years ago and have not had any follow up since year 1. He has seemed to skip town and is now practicing medicine in Rumford now.  I have tried several times over that past few years to get an appointment to follow up with another surgeon but with a "fee" they won't see me.  So, this is where I need your help!  I know there are alot of you that has had Dr Aslam and I would like to know what your doing for follow up. 

Thanks for your help!!

I've been away from here and from behaving myself. Gotta get back on track too!.
We just finished a weekend of flameworking and pot luck foods (yikes!)

Today is a holiday (MLK Day) I have plans to be active and get some stuff done around this neglected house.

Topic: RE: Just had surgery on Monday and I'm sad
Thank you so much, Cindy. I've been very sick since my surgery. The surgery went fine and I'm healing fine, but I am still on broth and decaf tea. Can't really keep anything down. They think I might have a stricture, so I'm going back in to have an endoscopy on Thursday. This has been a nightmare and I'm really sorry I did it, but I'm dealing. I appreciate your concern. I've been too sick to even get onto this site lately. Today I kept a couple spoons of oatmeal down, but I'm 4 weeks out and they say it should not be this hard. 
Thanks so much!
