Recommendation Of Doctors..



Recommended Posts

Hi.!!

I live in Katy tx.. I'm schedule for my surgery on Aug.25 in Mexico.

I been looking for a doctor to go after surgery.

I ask three doctors but they don't want to see me.

I have two weeks to find a doctor.

Any recommendations who already had their surgery.? Any body that you can reccomend that already saw you..

I'm looking for doctors in Houston or Katy..

Hopefully somebody can help me..

I still have two other doctors to see.. crossing my fingers hopefully they will ..

Thanks guys.!!!!

Just an idea but have you considered a family practice nurse practitioner? its my thinking and from what I have read is the only thing they do is check your labs every 3 months to make sure your not dehydrated or anemic, or that your Vitamin levels are in range, All nurse practitioners work under a Dr. anyway as a backup! so I would just make an appointment for a physical in general and while you are there tell them about your sleeve. ;) Just a thought. If anything goes drastically wrong you would be told to go to the ER anyway right.

Yes, your family doctor should be able to manage your post op care ASCAP far as labs.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
