I've only seen Dr Strom at my first visit and the day of surgery. I can say he did a great job because I am alive (lol) and I had no complications. He also performed the surgery of a friend and she is 5 months post op. You really do see all the dr's in the practice. I saw a different dr at my final pre op appt, another who was on duty the weekend I was in the hospital (I believe his name was dr rob) a woman dr at my first post op appt. I'm not good with names but they were all great! I didn't have the best hospital experience.. It was ok. I would try to have as much support as possible there for you. I chose to not tell many people and not to have visitors.. But I was ok post surgery. I was up and walking around the hallways the first night. I did however see some of the other people who had surgery when we went for x-rays who seemed to be worst off than me. I didn't see anyone walking in the hallways and the woman I shared the room with was in so much pain she didn't walk at all the entire stay. (Her mom stayed in our room both nights) Don't get me wrong I used that morphine drip all day Friday and Sat morning but after that I only had Tylenol w/cod Sat night and nothing on Sunday. If you can walk... I had no problems with gas. The process was not easy and in retrospect I should have had someone come atleast to visit. I think I had a tougher time the first week at home ( probably from lack of sleep and I got a cold from my 8 year old my second day home).Anyone have surgery at S.o.c.h.?
