18 mos and new Dr?
Hi, I had RNY 18 mos ago. I lost about 72 pounds I was considered a light weight. However, my doc did not offer any follow up care. I saw him in the office. He checked BP and weight but there wasnt any thorough followup. Now, I am meeting with another surgeon to get aftercare. I am so worried that they will just ask me dumb questions like why did I choose him, etc. There are a whole host of reasons but mainly because I was in a very vulnerable state and I really think this dr. knew this.
Anyway, Now, I am down on myself for not finding a new dr. sooner, that it is too late. I feel good, but my mind still thinks I am the same weight I started with. I feel bad, bc I have been eating whatever I want. For the past three weeks, I have gotten back on track. I just feel so bad about myself. :( anyone have this? any advice? thanks.
I applaud you for finding a new doctor and sticking with your new way of life. Just let him know what your needs are and why you are there so you can be healthy and kept on track medically. I hope I did not see this too late. I am new to site. Good luck and remember you need to be your advocate. (I had to find a new doctor because mine quit practicing. I waited until I was having health issue though. I was dumb.)
