Has anyone had a problem getting there surgery notes and xray?



Recommended Posts

I found a clinic that will do my fills, all I need is the surgery notes and x-ray of my stomach (didnt know one was taken-lol) Since I live in Thunder Bay and the flights to TO are costing me $$ I am able to get service in Duluth,MN which is 3.5hr away-no biggy since we tend to go there often. Has anybody ever had to do this?

I have seen others docs, the surgery notes should be easy, but have you had a fluroscope? IF you haven't I would talk to your clinic and see what it would take to get a fluro and then get a copy of the fluro (I would think it would be a CD/DVD since it is all computerized) It may cost you for the copy of the fluro since it isn't something they give away standard with a fill.

Good luck

Thanks for replying, I havent had fluro. The clinic in Duluth wants the x-ray so they know where the port is- I told them I can feel it and I have had 3 fills so I know where it is. LOL. Once things cool down at TLBC I will call them.

Then a standard x-ray should be fine, your family doc can request one for you if it is just a standard one over the fluro. But email TLBC and see what they say

Good luck, closer fills for you would be great for you.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
