I had my annual check up today and filled my OB/Gyn in on my surgery details. (Still haven't even told my PCP) She was so excited and thought what I did was great, and offered to arrange for any followup bloodwork I needed. She wanted the name of my surgeon in Mexico because she has several other patients who's insurance doesn't cover WLS. I forwarded all my records from OCC so she'd have all the info for future reference.

Thats great that she is so supportive!!! I get surprised sometimes when I'm nervous to tell someone and they are super supportive...its a good suprised

Prior to my surgery, I had my regular check up with my GYN. I let him know about the surgery. He was, by far the most supportive of all the doctors I had told. I will always appreciate his support. Especially because some doctors (including my general practitioner) were not supportive at all. So glad you had a positive reaction! It makes such a difference

My gyn surprised me by asking if she can refer other patients who may have questions about WLS to me because she sees me as a success story related to that. I was very flattered!
