Kelsie_A 21 Posted February 4, 2013 Hey everyone! Im getting close to setting my surgery date (waiting on when the best time to take off work will be) and my one of me concerns is after care. I have no insurance and no normal PCP so I really am looking for advise from someone in my area that has one already who is used to caring for us self-pay TJ people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onelessfatgirl 103 Posted February 4, 2013 I don't know any surgeons who do aftercare for self care patients. However, I do know that Franciscan Center for Weight Management (Federal Way) is a BCE and they offer monthly support groups (in FW at St. Francis and in Lakewood at St. Claire). You could see about going to those support groups or, if you call around and find a surgeon for long-term after care they might have other support groups.

measureofme 175 Posted February 5, 2013 I echo what oneless said... St Francis Center for Weight Management folks are wonderful and at least at Federal way have support groups you can join. As for PCP... I don't have one anymore, they kept moving away! So I have been using a CarePlus clinic for care. They are mostly urgent care but mine is happy to act as PCP and will be doing follow up labs and other monitoring as needed. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
