shedo82773 1,236 Posted October 18, 2016 Hi Stephanie840910 I have been joined since 2014. But I hadn't been on the site in forever. I am from ROSEBURG, OREGON. I had my RNY July 2, 2013. I had it in COOS BAY, OREGON. Which is 2 hours from where I live. The Surgeon I had turned out to be not so good. Well, he was a great surgeon but lack or I should say S**Ked without any bedside manners. Oh well, I'm great anyhow!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rosey posey 176 Posted October 22, 2016 I think you're cool shedo82773 thanks for coming back to all us newbies, we need your wisdom. And I think your surgeon has a nephew in Columbus Ohio where I'm gonna go. Great surgeon but I call him the Rabid Gila monster, warm and cuddly he ain't. I lookat it as I won't be sleeping with him j Sent from my S55 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shedo82773 1,236 Posted October 22, 2016 Rosey posey Not sleeping with them is true but....he wanted to follow my journey ( well not just mine but all of his pts) for 5 years, so he can use it as DATA. So he looks like he is so successful. When I had problems with strictures he was done with me then my hubby had a failed revision from his Lap-Band to an RNY he became severely ill and the A** HAT totally dropped him in his worse time of need. He called us PROBLEM CHILDREN!!! I feel like our journies messed with his PERFECT DATA!!! I actually kind of fired him!! I went to a CENTER OF EXCELLENCE in Portland a little further than COOS BAY but oh so worth it!! So basically we are kind of connected to them for our follow up. I was told that it is hard to get someone to clean up another Dr's mistakes but THANK GOODNESS we found someone who cares and is there for us if needed. The further out we get the less we need our Surgeon. I have my PCP order my blood work and then have it faxed to PORTLAND. It works for me!! LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
