Changing my pcp doctor!!!



Recommended Posts

I had my 1st visit with the surgeon on Aug 4th, I have to do a 6 month diet & exercise class, Aug 8th i attended a diet & exercise seminar, Aug 9th I drop the form off to my dr office so she can sign off saying it's ok to participate in the Well Wellness Program, Aug 10-Aug 22 nothing but excuses after excuses, so on the 22nd I go to the office and ask have they faxed the paperwork back to the Wellness Center yet, O she has a note on your chart to discuss at office visit, wow thanks for letting me know so I try to scheldule a office can't one until Sept 19th!!!!! So I've decided if I really want to get the ball rolling I needed to change drs. So I made an appt with another dr who my mother goes to, and I will be seeing him on Monday!!! I plan on going on a cruise in May I would like to be banded by then. So with that being said do you think I'm doing the right thang by changing drs????

Totally. I'd do it. You know what's good for you and you have every right to pick your own doctor,

I think the best doctor's realise they are providing a services. If they don't meet the customers expectations they will go somewhere else. Totally unprofessional to not tell you they would not be taking any action for almost 3 weeks.

I had my dr visit with the new dr this morning everything went great. We talk about the the surgery and the process, he signed the paper I need to have to start the Well Wellness Program and started documenting info that I would need when my 6 mos is up to subment to the surgeon office. Thanks for the support guys!!!!!!!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
