Got my follow up secured!!

Well, first of all, I meant to tell you Lorraine, how good your doing! You look awsome. We went ahead and signed up locally for adoption process too. Esp since I need to have this surgery, the international costs will be much harder to secure. I have a internet friend (single) who is going for her 2nd adoption in china, she lives in Canada, and seems that your country has some awsome "materinty family leave" time for her. Well today, I made intial contact with a PCP to do my follow up. His wife is 7 yrs post op with RNY and he is very knowledgeable and non judgemental with the "mexico trip" In fact spent lots of time with his wife, and she would like me to make all copies of info to take to the office, to help some pts that surgery has been unaffordable and unreachable. I am thrilled and relieved. I will have to change PCP providers, but thats okay. I love my doctor, but she is not too hip on me having surgery. This new doctor has many contacts in Dallas, and will be able to make sure I will be taken care of in emergancy cases. Much relief noted. On to other stuff to get ready!!! have a great day! Sandy

i'm so happy for you! i know you must be releaved.best of luck in the future!

That's so great! I'm glad you have all your ducks in a row. Now you can focus on taking care of yourself and recovering! Good luck!

Sandy: I am so glad that you got a doc here to follow up. That is so important and I am glad that they are taking you on!! That is a great relief!! Now just focus and getting yourself ready for the life changing event and good luck!!! Jen

Congratulations on finding a good follow up doc. I know I too had to switch PCP's and it was kinda scary, but I am very happy with my choice. It will be wonderful for you to have such good knowledgable support available to you, Tamara 321/196/150?

Thanks Tamara!! I was relieved and being a nurse, I have to listen to some of the doctors opinions and riff raff that goes with it!!! Lucky me!! I am so blessed to have this board and OBH to help me along the way. I am amazed at people I know that have come across my path, here at home, that have no support and virtually no real knowledge. I am like......so why did you have WLS, how could you go in blindly?? Anyways, your progress is great, the pics are fab!!! Cheers, Sandy
