Karla, does your doctor have a back up plan for when he leaves?

If not Dr. Aranow over at Middlesex has a great reputation and is very experienced. My doctor is Craig Floch, and I couldn't be happier....best before and aftercare you could want.....plus his practice is very responsive......One thing to consider in choosing your doctor is the long term.....is his/her office and support groups close/convenient to get to

There is a support group at Middlesex Hospital....preops and post ops the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Mondays of the month at 6:30.....I have been going there even though my surgery was in Bridgeport.....good luck......PM me if I can be of any help.

Great! That was the other Doc I was looking at too! How long were you in hospital? Complications? How was the pain?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
