Dear Dawn

Thank you for you post and helping to put things in perspective -- we (I)

often forget how lucky we are to have the health care available at the drop

of a hat that we do have

>>I live in Denmark. WLS has not been done here in over 20 years. When I

showed the specialist my

folder with all my information and diagrams, he wouldn't even look at it.

He insisted they were all the same.<<<<

~smile~ although seems like many of the doctors have the same attitude of

not wanting to 'learn new stuff' just for one person...

>>> Now, I went down to the hospital and requested copies of my entire

record...blood work, Dexascan...I want the numbers myself! After I get them,

I'm going to my family doctor with what I am now armed with. INFORMATION.

:;;snip::: Above all though....don't anyone just go with the flow. Know

everything concerned with your WLS.<<<

And some things are the same no matter WHERE we are -- I am so glad you are

being pro-active in your health care, arming ourselves with our own numbers,

results, trends over a period of time -- eventually, we will find a doctor

who WILL listen and treat us and help us do the best possible we can do for

our health -- GOOD for you and I hope you get the much needed attention to

your issues.

,

They brag about the free health care in Europe. Denmark has a 50% tax on

wages and it takes forever to get specialized health care. Thanks for your

response.
