Guest guest Posted August 24, 2000 Report Share Posted August 24, 2000 Thank you so much, you can't believe how excited I am, the only problem I am having is I can't get my PCP to order the blood work and the EKG he says " I have no medical reason to order it " which he is right I guess, but from what I understand I can have it done the morning of the surgery. I would love to keep in touch with you!! > >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com >Subject: April >Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 10:51:41 -0400 (EDT) > >Hey Robin we're next door neighbors I'm in Oxford.

Yes, but you always run the risk, however small it may be, that you will get to Durham, have these tests done, something turns out not to be right, and you've wasted your money to come there. Try explaining that to your PCP and show him where these are required pre-surgery tests. > > > > >Reply-To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com > >To: MiniGastricBypass (AT) egroups (DOT) com > >Subject: Re: > >Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2000 07:00:18 -0400 > > > >Bob... > > > >My name is Joni and I've posted on here a few times.
