Guest guest Posted August 21, 2001 Report Share Posted August 21, 2001 I spend waaaay too much time reading these mails. It's a good thing I own my company or I'd get fired. Oh, gads. That gyn. doctor story (with the girlfriend at the apartment)--I felt like I was reading a script to a soap opera. Jeez! What a scum! Is there anyone out there from my area--extreme north coast of California? I'm going to see Dr. K, in Delano, CA on August 31 (1st visit) and I'd really like some company. By the way, my plane ticket will cost $368 plus I have to rent a car in Bakersfield, get a motel, etc. I know it'll be worth it, but I'm a Blue Cross PPO victim, so I'm continuing with the process just hoping the " BC gods " will reverse their decision. I spoke with Dee at DR. K's today. She said the BC doctors meet again in September so cross your fingers--and write letters! Please answer some questions for me. Anyone? Anyone?.....Thanks! 1. What is a " panni " ? 2. What is the difference between " distal, medial, and proximal " bypass? 3. Are there stats on how folks feel at 1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op, 1 month, 2 months, etc.? If no, would someone be willing to compile that info? I know it wouldn't be strictly scientific, but I know it would be very helpful for us hopefuls to know what we're in for. 4. Is the " sleeve " just referring to the " hotdog " shaped stomach? Congratulations to ALL of you who have found the greener grass! You inspire me and keep me going!
