Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 ?? I could travel if I could find a competent surgeon who would see me in a reasonable time. Is it feasable to be out of town and away from those who would help me out right after surgery? Would I have to stay in a motel for some length of time?>>>>>> Hi Cathy! If you have problems getting in to see Dr Sudan, I can recommend Dr Welker in Eugene, Oregon. He did my surgery last Nov (hubbys too) in Portland but he has recently moved to Eugene and gone into private practice with another surgeon there. Dr Welker is FANTASTIC! The most savy surgeon I have ever met. He is on top of things and wants you to be a participant in your care and recovery. His bedside manner is fabulous.....and the waiting list to see him isnt going to take you into next year but you better hurry.....things change might fast in the DS surgical world!! If you are interested let me know and I will send his number to you in private email.....he also emails you back in a reasonable amout of time if you choose to do that and will call you at home and talk as long as necessary to answer all of your questions...... We had the surgery done out of town..we are from Idaho and had to travel to Oregon. After release from the hospital we stayed in a motel for a week. Worked out just fine. Everybody was helpful and the doc himself called every day to check on us! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 Judie, thanks for the response. Actually, i have very close friends in Oregon so that may work. Probably could recoup for a week at their house. My email is ckatz50@.... Katz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
