?? Pre op stuff for Dr Ryder

Having revision from band to bypass.  Need to do pre op stuff.  Dr Ryder said I wouldnt have to do all the pre op stuff, probably just nutritionist, psych eval, and a meeting  (plus ya know the bloodwork and stuff).  OK so the office is apparently slow in sending me the paperwork.  Can Anyone tell me when the meeting is and where?  Who does she recommend do the Psych eval? and who is nutritionist??  I can probably just call now instead of waiting for the paperwork.

THANKS!!!
Kerry

Hi Kerry,

The Rhode Island Hospital meeting is the first Wednesday each month. I didn't have my surgery through Dr. Ryder so I can't tell you who she recommends for the Psych Eval. However, the local 'bariatric friendly' nutritionists include:

Nutrition, Inc - 525 Taunton Ave. E. Prov.

(401) 490-0900

-AND-

Nutrition Consultants - 1 James P Murphy Ind Highway, W.Warwic

(401) 615-5538

There are several support groups in RI. It doesn't matter where you have your surgery or who performed them. We are welcome at any of them.

Please e-mail if you would like a calendar of all the support groups!

Welcome to the continuation of your journey!
