Need to change Dr Pre -OP I think; anyone else do this?
GottaBeME* posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My Dr is good I think - saw him ONCE for the consultation. His Bariatric Coordinator is NOT however. She literally rolls her eyes when talking so fast I have to ask her to repeat things 3 times! I was told "call anytime" but can never reach her and if I can, she gets off the phone before I'm done asking questions - hangs up on me literally! So I am looking elsewhere. I know this will delay my surgery date but oh well. I have all the referrals/recommendations,; don't know if Dr has approved it and if it was sent in to Insurance for their approval or not. Don't know ANYTHING> One person at office changed my 2nd Dr appt for the 3rd time, to 2 weeks away and said "have you done your weigh-ins yet?" WHATweigh-ins? No one said anything about THAT! She said, you'd better talk to Gina, the B. Coordinator, and I said yeah right, like she ever calls me back... So it's time to get another surgeon /practice I think. Any comments? Is this typical? Should I follow my "gut" - pun intended - and move on? Hate to postpone surgery but really this is not good! I am 5' tall with BMI of 40 at 206 lb and 3 co-morbidities. Need to get this resolved! -
Is getting an epidural customary when having the sleeve? Do all Mexico Dr 's do it that way?

Just wanted to see who was getting sleeved in March 2012, I am having my sleeve done March 1st by Dr. Kelly in Mexico. It is all I can think about right now, and just getting all my planning and finances in order... Thank you to everyone on this forum you have been such an inspiration and always so informative!
