Angie,

I agree with Ethel. You say your surgeon is away for two week? Is

there another surgeon (WLS surgeon) who is on call for his practice...? A

regular Doc might not understand the problems and peculiarities of GB

surgery. Please call your surgeon's office and ask who you can contact that

understands what you're experiencing. God bless!

Love,

Trace
