Quick Question for Post-Ops

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Is it tradition to have the opportunity to speak with your surgeon

at some point on your surgery day BEFORE your surgery? I don't

care if I am moments before being anesthetized, I just want a

second to speak to Dr Pomp and emphasize my preference to have

the full surgery open as opposed to a two part laps if he is

thinking my BMI has crept up too high to do it all at once

laproscopically. (gained 12 lbs since my consult in when I

was told I was already borderline).

Just wondering if Mt Sinai patients have always been able to see

their doc beforehand or if I have to find another way to get my

message through to him...

Thanks,

Terri Hassiak
