Guest guest Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 The only reason you should see your surgeon after the first year is to add money to his pocket and stats to any research he might be doing. I am all in favor of helping with the research but he can get those stats from support groups. Unless you are not feeling well there is no reason to see your surgeon. When any problems came up for me ( 3 yrs out) I saw my PCP and if he thought it was necessary then he referred me back to the surgeon. It only happened 1x and they worked together. Hope I added some light to your question. Good Luck. Joyce in South Florida Joyce Blavat " People do not make a change until the pain of remaining the same is greater than the pain of change.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Thanks for your input. I totally agree since my PCP does all of the blood work anyhow. Robina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
