Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 I am not sure what I am going to do either. I had talked to my OB about the surgery and she referred me to someone else(who has only done a few TR) and obviously I didn't see him. Now that my TR is done, I have to go back to my regular OB because we don't have a RE in our area. Hopefully, they will be supportive. Good Luck! in MI Re: Everybody- please advise (long post) Good Morning All, I posted a similar message a few days ago and didn't get any responses. I'm thinking I must've done something wrong. Anyway, here's the deal. I traveled to Kentucky for my TR. I had spoken to my OB/GYN here on 2 occasions re: TR and she wasn't very positive. At first I wasn't quite ready financially, so she took that opportunity to kind of blow off the discussion since I was talking about having the surgery in a year or so. At my next annual exam (this past December), I brought it up again and again she was a bit negative re: outcomes and such. However, she did throw out a few names of dr.'s to call about the procedure. No formal referral or anything. Now keep in mind she has been my GYN for nearly 6 years. I have not had a baby in this state, so I don't know her as an OB. I have wonderful rapport with her. She's an older lady (maybe mid 60's), sweet as pie. Makes me feel like I'm the only patient in the world, even when her waiting room is overflowing.(and it always is) So, I called the 2 dr.'s that she spoke of and wasn't impressed with either. One of them wouldn't even talk to me until I filled out an application which I was to receive in the mail and never did. Of course I had already been researching on line and knew of both Dr. Berger and Dr. Levin. Dr. Berger is closer for me and I thought he was my man. I'm not sure why, but after some prayer it became crystal clear to me that Dr. L was actually my guy. I had TR with Dr. Levin on 5/6/02 without ever talking to my OB/GYN any further on the subject. I did call her office just before I left to ask if she takes care of post TR patients. Office staff said she does. Now, I'm feeling weird about making an appt. for follow up. Especially since she was anti-TR anyway. I sort of feel like I've gone behind her back. What did you all do? Should I see an RE here? I made an appt. with one for a " meet & greet " session. What do you think? I know this is crazy long. Forgive me. Andi:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Andi, thank you for your encouraging words. I really am not normally this A) Whiney; Negative; or C) Grumpy. But right now that's all of what I am. I don't know how women that go past their due dates can stay composed, it would drive me nuts. I just want to know so I can plan my last day, etc. I'm giving them till this afternoon, then I will be calling again.... Hart Baby Bean due 30 June 2002 http://www.geocities.com/thehartclantx/Thehartclantx.html Re: I am feeling your pain! I don't know how you're containing yourself. I 'm not sure that I could've let the office close yesterday without calling them back! Today's the day though...you'll know something today.
