How to display "My Surgeon"



Recommended Posts

I can't get my surgeon's name to show either. It is Dr Jennifer Perkins, Fort Bragg. Every time I try to type it in, it changes it to Jennifer Griffith. I delete that and it saves as nothing. I am having a problem with my story entry and my ticker. they all show under my profile but do not show elsewhere. I did set it for public. ideas?

I just joined today, wrote my surgeon's name in (Dr. Geoffrey Nadzam from New Haven CT) and wrote a review about him. My profile says my surgeon is "Catari" in Wisconsin.

This is obviously an issue for some of our members and would appreciate a little info in order to resolve this problem.

When you are trying to select your surgeon, what, exactly if you don't mind, are you doing?

Step by step please.

Are you completely typing the surgeons name?

Does your browser auto complete his name?

Do you click on his name once our system delivers it as a suggestion?

What type of device are you using (computer, smartphone, tablet etc.)

i am on a pc. when I start to type manually Jennifer it does pop up a list of autocomplete names. my surgeon is not in the list. there are other jennifers. when I manually type perkins it keeps changing it to one that is on the list, Jennifer griffins. it will save griffins but when I try to change back to perkins I get nothing or griffins.

I figured out your specific issue....

We never had Dr. Jennifer M. Perkins listed in our database to begin with.

I've added some very basic info about her to our database and you should be able to select her as your bariatric surgeon. PM me if you have her office or personal email address so I can provide her with info on how to complete her profile.

Please add my surgeon, Dr Ryan Heider. I'm using firefox 23.0.1. I also tried in Internet Explorer 10 and had the same results. Whenver I type anything into the surgeons field, I don't get any auto-complete entries. It's just like a text box. This applies no matter what first letter that I type.

Thanks for your report. We're still trying to get down to the bottom of this issue. We should have an update rolled out in a week or so. I've added Dr. Heider as your surgeon.

Can you do me a favor please ? I'm trying to get down to the bottom of this issue.

Can you type in just the beginning of his last name (monash) and see if that works for you ?

My surgeon isn't on the drop down either although he does have a profile under surgeons.

Hello,

My doctor is Dr. John J. Gonzalez at the Texas Center For Medical And Surgical Weightloss, San Antonio, Texas. I've tried and tried to enter the information into the My Surgeon block and everytime I click save the infromation disappears and it doesn't display when I post.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
