Topic: RE: Info needed from any Cleveland Clinic patients.
Greetings.  I am not a patient of the Cleveland Clinic, but I have a sister and a brother who are patients of that program.  I would suggest calling the clinic back about getting your lab orders called to your local doctor or lab.  Most labs would have to have the proper orders so that they draw the necessary amount of tubes and run all of the necessary tests.  Having your blood work taken regularly is important because it will tell Dr. Schauer or one of the other doctors completing their Fellowship whether you are having any nutritional absorbtion problems.  Adjustments to your supplements might be necessary.  You can probably have the lab work done at any Cleve Clinic office - their patient record systems should be linked so that results can be viewed at any of their locations.  The program at the Cleveland Clinic is truly one of the best in the country, you are fortunate to have their care!

Congratulations on your progress!

Topic: Info needed from any Cleveland Clinic patients.

I have my six month post op visit with the doc three Mondays from now.  The nurse told me I need to have my blood work taken at least two weeks before the appointment. The scheduler at the clinic told me she would call me about the lab work appt., but never did.

My question is:  Can any Cleveland Clinic patient tell me if they really needed an appt for six month post RNY lab work, or can you just "show up"?  Also, do I have to go downtown, or can I just show up at one of the suburban satellites?

Topic: X- post I found a Plus size Consignment shop in the Columbus area!
I saw a little ad in a weekly paper about "Miss Chrissy's Plus Size Consignment Shop" & they wehre having a sidewalk sale today!  That is all I needed to know to set my wheels turning to 3058 West Broad Street, Columbus  (hours Tues. - Sat. 12-6 p.m.)  It is a nice shop.  Clean , well organized clothes.  At the sidewalk sale i picked up 5 items for $5!

They also have a shop in Grove City, 4093 Hoover Road (just off Stringtown by ASK motorsport).  they are open  Thurs. - Mon. 12 -6 p.m. 

I mentioned that I was going home & post on here about my find.  I'm hoping next week to take spring/summer clothes over for consignment.  You do need to make an appointment to bring things in.

BTW they have been in business over 10 years.

I signed up for the conference. I'm looking for another woman to share the room expense, so let me know if you are interested.
Thanks!

I just had the VGS with Dr. Curry this past Tuesday, March 30th. He was very nice and his staff is excellent! Today is post op day 3 and I'm waiting to head up to the park to go walking. Just be prepared to take it easy for a couple days but every day honestly gets better! I'm very glad I researched and picked Dr. Curry as my doctor!!
