You need to be comfortable with your surgeon! Where are you located?

Morristown. In every encounter with him, he has been short and condescending. My boyfriend mentioned it at first, but I didn't pay too much attention. When he essentially hung up on me a couple of days ago over a miscommunication, after telling me "he is only here to help, I have to call doctors and do that work myself," that just was the straw. I wasn't even talking to him, I was talking to an office worker who must have misunderstood me and suddenly the surgeon was on the phone. It was strange.

Hi NJ folks. We have quarterly face to face meetings in NYC and welcome our bariatric friends on the other side of the Hudson River. If anyone is interested in finding out more about the meetings, just feel free to reach out to me. As you see from my signature, I'm a co-leader for the NYC chapter. We've had Jersey folk attend before and welcome any of you as well.

Liz

      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!!
