Listen to Your Doctor!!

[gretat 0]

Hi All,

I just want to repeat what I have read from so many postings about the advice given on this site: Listen to it but find out first what your Dr. wants you[/b] to do. I listened to someones advice without checking with my Dr. and she wasn't happy with me. :mad:

It wasn't a big deal, but just reminded me that each Dr. wants/expects different things.

10 days out and feeling Great!!

Hey Gretat...

So glad you are doing so well! It is true... seems like each Surgeon has there own special rules and regulations. It always best to follow your Doc's instructions but it is also important to value what others have found to be effective and then make your own educated decision. It seems to me that this site is about personal experiences and advice based on those experiences. It a bit like when you have a baby... everyone tells you what worked for them as a parent and the doctors gives you his instructions and then you decide as a parent what combination of information you will value and use as you raise your child. In my experiece... surgeons are the most protective of the actual surgical sites and how they are cared for.... I would always consult my M.D. if I was having a problem with my incisions or any other problem that is directly connected to the surgery itself.

Good luck with everything in bandland!
