Seeing dr at home after sugery



Recommended Posts

How does that work? Do you just go see your general practitioner? A specialist?

I'll be going to a nutritionist after I get home but as far as check ups afterwards I can't find too much info.

I went to my PCP when I made my Mx choice. He plans to do my follow up care.

I was back in my surgeon's office at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and will be again at 6 weeks then at 3 mos. 6 mos. 9 mos and a year. Each time I go I see the surgeon and the NUT. I get a lot of post op care, but that;s what my insurance is paying for. And I"ve also been instructed that if I have any questions I'm to call his office, not ask strangers on the internet, because that's why he's paying nurses 24/7 to answer the phone. Also, he's made it clear that he's my doctor for life. If I am ever taken to the hospital ER he is to be notified.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
