My date... not yet...

Any how you all know I was hoping to get my date today, I met the surgeon talked to him for a while and decided he's not the one for me. I didn't feel like he had enough experience doing lap surg for me to be comfortable with him. So I have another appt with Dr.Sebesta on the 28th. He had done a larger amount of surgerys so I hope I like him and that he has a cancellation in his schedule so I can get in sooner. LOL I am just suffering from no date let down... boo hoo... Oh well I am the one who chose to wait for another Dr I could have went with this guy but it just didn't feel right. Have a nice day I am off to my 2nd job!!

Good for you to realize this wasn't the doctor for you. Lots of people would have gone ahead just to get it done sooner. You are going to have a long relationship with this person so do be sure you get along with them, you will be a team. Your time will be here sooner than you think. Best of luck!!

Since you mention Dr. Sebesta, I am assuming you're having it done at Madigan?  May I ask who you saw that you didn't feel that comfortable with?  I'm doing my Pathway classes right now (have my last one on Wednesday). It's a bummer that you have to wait longer to get your date, but it's important you have a surgeon you like and feel comfortable with. ~Annie

I agree, you have to do what's best for you, sorry you have to wait to get a date though.  And like Annie, could you share, even in PM if you like, who you didn't choose, if you dont mind that is. 

Annie, Shelly I don't want to post the Dr.s name on the board and accidentally turn someone away from what could be the best dr for them. I think part of the problem was that madigan had me as a band candidate not a Lap RGB and I think that is where this dr.s focus is. I can tell you that he told me that Dr. Sebesta and Rouch(sp) were the best Lap RGB drs if that helps. But they are harder to get to see= longer wait. All I can say is follow your feelings and ask lots of questions, yes this is an ARMY hosp but you don't have to work with a surgeon you aren't comfy with. If you still feel like you want to know PM me and I will let you know that way.
