Had consult. visit at Dr Goodmans Office.



Recommended Posts

Well I had my first visit with Dr Woodmans Office yesturday I had to watch this boring :mellow: video and go over what else I need before we send in to the ins comp. for approval. I thought I would have at least got to meet the Dr. But I only saw him on the video. My hisband and friend have both worked with him at Methodist Germantown but I think it would make a better impact if he meet his patient on the first visit I myself would rather ask him about any concern then his staff before I putting all this time into it if I had doughts. Anyways It went good alls my ins request is medical record ( which i took with me), a letter from my dr (which was faxed to them while I was there) the pshch and nutr. eval.:scared2: I have psych set up for wed. 4/8 but I am having a hard time finding the nutr. assessment. Anyone know of one in memphis or around the area that I can get into fast. I set up a appt with Dr Rice's office to find out once I got there that she did not do the assessment for psych because she was only a social worker and the Dr in the office that did it did not take my ins. :thumbup: I was so mad I asked every question and told them what I need when I mad the appt. So I went home and just started calling everyone on my ins list till I found Dr Amos. :cool2: He said he does this assessment for about all Dr woodmans pts. And I got a appt. for right away not weeks down the road. He spoke to me and set the appt up himself and email me all the 26 pages of paper work you fill out to do before the appt. which I thought was great. I hate sitting in a office filling out paperwork. He also told me he would have it to Dr woodman on that monday following my appt. I hope to find a nutr. soon my goal is to have everything I need to get sent off by 4/13. MY b-days in May and that would be the best b-day present ever to be able to have a date.. better yet have it done.... :tt2:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
