My three week visit with Dr. Gagner...

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I had my 3 week follow up appointment today and everything seems to

be going ok. I also got to see Liz as well so I don't have to come

back to NY next week. What a relief that is! Dr. G started me on

Actigall and Iron supplements today. The big thrill for me is that I

don't have to crush my meds and have chewable vitamins anymore. Yay!

For some reason, Flintstones chewables don't taste as good as they

did when I was a kid. LOL Liz switched me to Citrical. I was taking

Viactive but I much rather swallow pills. I did ask Dr. Gagner

about the anesthesia problem and he said that it wasn't me, it was

the drugs. hit it right on the head...Thanks, ! Dr.

Gagner said they have to make sure all the muscles stay relaxed so

that they can do the surgery and they use quite a bit of drugs. So,

I am happy with that explaination. My next appointment is October 10.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I should have bloodwork

done before my visit or do they do it there? I forgot to ask how that

works. Thanks.

Hugs,

Hunter

:

have the bloodwork done 2 weeks prior to your 3 month check-up. That

way gagner can go over the results with you. If they didnt give you a

form for the bloodwork, have Ivonne mail one to you. Congrats on your

checkup. I was there yesterday too -- in the morning (10 am appt).

Thanks, Jill. My appointment was at 10 am as well...but I didn't get

there until 11 am. Traffic was pretty bad and then we got lost (on

foot, lol) looking for the right floor. I had the 4th floor stuck in

my head...then my hubby said, " Oh no, I am sure it is the 6th. " And 6

floors later we arrived. LOL Congrats on your checkup too. I can't

wait for my 3 month check up. :-)

Take care,
