I posted my concerns about my doctor not wanting to do the sleeve do to reflux (I don't even get heartburn). Well I called another surgeon and I'm waiting for a call back so he can fit me it. The lady said she may get me in by Wednesday.
I always got in touch with my scheduler and told her that I'm not sure about the bypass. She looked in my folder and said that the test showed that I have moderate to severe reflux....what! If that's the case wouldn't I have some idea about it? She said that Dr. Salzberg will be in the office tomorrow and she'll talk to her about it. They may send me to a G.I. doctor to run more test..."They May!?".... really? Like if they don't I just have to deal with that? I didn't get upset, shoot my six month PCP visits isn't over til Oct. So I have time to make other plans if need be.
I'm just glad for the feedback from this site.
