Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Hi TCBACE, (don't know your name) I did read in the manual, No OB-GYN's, specifically. Maybe Dr. R will make and exception in your case. Best Wishes, Ruqayya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 At the clinic I attended Dr R addressed this question.His response was that he would accept a GYN IF he/she would agree to the follow up and referrals,if necessary,and they need to state that in the PCP letter.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2000 Report Share Posted August 10, 2000 Does anyone know if your local doctor has to be a family practioner type doc? I have a GYN that I have been with for 14 years and no regular primary care or general/family doctor. Thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 Hi, I do not want to have you referring Dr Letter to be a gynecologist. You are going to have a major medical disease for the rest of your life after gastric bypass surgery. You need a good, knowledgeable, caring Medical Dr (Internal Medicine/Family Practice) to help care for you along with your surgeon. RR Rutledge, M.D., F.A.C.S.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2000 Report Share Posted August 11, 2000 My physician is my Endocrinologist who cares for me because I have thyroid problems. Is that acceptable for a referring Dr. > Hi, > > I do not want to have you referring Dr Letter to be a gynecologist. > > You are going to have a major medical disease for the rest of your life > after gastric bypass surgery. > > You need a good, knowledgeable, caring Medical Dr (Internal Medicine/Family > Practice) to help care for you along with your surgeon. > > RR > > Rutledge, M.D., F.A.C.S. > The Center for Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery > 4301 Ben lin Blvd. > Durham, N.C. 27704 > Telephone #: > Fax #: > Email: DrR@c... > > ************************************************ > Please Visit our Web site: http://clos.net > ************************************************ > > Durham Regional Hospital: > > Also, Please consider joining the > Mini-Gastric Bypass Mailing List > at http://www.onelist.com > > MiniGastricBypass is a general discussion of the Mini-Gastric Bypass > ( http://www.onelist.com/community/MiniGastricBypass ) > > Talk with lots of other Pre and Post Op > patients and friends. > Keep up to date on the latest news about > the Mini-Gastric Bypass. > Physician Question > > >Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 02:41:18 -0000 > > > > > >Does anyone know if your local doctor has to be a family practioner > > >type doc? > > >I have a GYN that I have been with for 14 years and no regular > > >primary care or general/family doctor. > > >Thanks... > > > > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ __ > > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com > > > > > > > > > > This message is from the Mini-Gastric Bypass Mailing List at Onelist.com > > Please visit our web site at http://clos.net > > Get the Patient Manual at http://clos.net/get_patient_manual.htm > > > > To Unsubscribe Send and Email to: > MiniGastricBypass-unsubscribe (AT) egroups (DOT) com > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
