URGENT--advice needed

[rshredl 1]

It is indeed, a center of excellence, thought I believe that to be a very low standard at this point.

I have wondered if I'd be able to move my post-op care to another center and I'm really not sure. It's something I need to call and ask about I suppose, though I'm not precisely sure who to contact. I'll have to do some looking.

I really don't know how much of their support I'll need after surgery, but based on what little I could gather from the meetings, it seems they have pretty strict diets and such that they expect you to do and follow ups with them. And so, if they are to be the ones helping me figure out eating after surgery and such, I am incredibly concerned.

I have also considered switching hospitals. I have I think 2 other options in the area, and it is becoming more and more attractive to consider that, though it would delay my surgery of course.

I do think I will call the surgeons office and/or patient relations after teaching a class I have coming up. I tend to agree that maybe (hopefully) the surgeon isn't aware that things are done so disorganized and could jump everyone into action.

Have you thought about speaking with someone at the other surgical centers you spoke of to see if they can help you transfer to their facility, without any problems? I saw a few different facilities, before I made up my mind. Some want you to jump through more hoops than others. I hope everything works out for you and that you have great success moving forward.
