My doc is retiring

My surgeon moved from the NYC area to Dallas a week before he was scheduled to do surgery. Although I was really annoyed at the time, I transferred to someone much better and given more options.
Once you're post op, your surgeon is of little to no value even though we all want the security blanket of knowing they are there. In reality, you'll just check in once or twice a year, and get some basic advice you can get from a lot of other med professionals.
I switched surgeons offices after a year becasue I wasn't satisfied with the follow up from my orignal surgeon. After one visit the new Dr retired. I'm not sure who I'll see at my next visit. I would assume that the office would have other doc's you could see. If not, you'll have to either look for another bariatric office, or discuss with your PCP about follow up.
