Complication questions

[swimbikerun 1,046]

Hi all,

For those who have had complications (like myself), I started a blog about questions to ask their surgeons. Mine didn't recognize what others did about complications (polyneuropathies from malnutrition) and I'm wanting to let others know to help themselves, in case their surgeons are the same way. Apparently my PCP and the like were more up to date on the literature. I don't want to have others go through this.

Is it possible that people could look at http://bariatrichelp.wordpress.com/ and let me know what you think of the question list? I'll expand it based on that and then maybe see about a website.

Again, this is to educate others so that they're not in the same boat as I was.

Thanks,

Victoria

Great blog!

The questions to ask your surgeon about complications should be recommended reading for anyone thinking about bariatric surgery.

Sending for interest to @@Alex Brecher

I will be adding more but spreading it around. I have spoken with a number of people and they're not interested in researching in this area. So it needs to be the patients who are doing this.

I think its pretty obvious why no one wants to advertise it but this is for the patients not for any other reason.

A LOT depends on the personality of the doctor. Find out where their heart is and where the money is.
