Question:
Post-ops in the Myrtle Beach area...

I am in search of a PCP who is knowledgable of WLS. I am beginning to think I am not getting the after-care I should be and have decided to find a primary doctor who can keep an eye on me. I live in N. Myrtle Beach, but I will go as far as Florence for a good doctor. Also, could someone please tell me what "levels" are checked and what scores would be normal? I am 6 mons. post-op and haven't had anything checked as of yet (except my surgical sites.)....Thanks for your responses!....Karen (lap rny- almost 6 months post-op- down 118 pounds!)    — karmiausnic (posted on March 12, 2003)

Karen, I follow your questions as I had surgery same week as you. My surgeon does labs at 6 months (for the first time since surg.) and you should see your PCP to get labs checked. I get mine in a week or so as my 6 month appt. is March 28. I love MB, by the way, we stay at Ocean Lakes every August. Take care and get those labs done.
