Re: Question about ObGYN/family doctor

[Guest guest]

My PCP has me go to a high risk OB (I have Type II

diabetes) and an endicrinologist (diabetes

specialist). The endic. has to monitor my meds and

the Hi-Risk OB will be seen in a couple of weeks.

I am not high-risk because of WLS, but extra labs will

be needed also extra vitamins because of the

malabsorption issues.
