Guest guest Posted September 9, 2001 Report Share Posted September 9, 2001 barb, i traveled from st.louis,mo to ocean springs,ms for my surgery. my surgeon arranged for me to follow-up with a st.louis gastro surgeon who does the rny. they have consulted on the phone so the doc here has a clue as to what is going on with my case. but, i am expected to go back to MS at 6 months, and probably 1 yr also, for visits with my original surgeon. otherwise, i stay in touch with their office on the phone, and use the local doc for any little problems that may come up. hope this helps. good luck! mary y st.louis > Hi all.
