Guest guest Posted September 18, 2000 Report Share Posted September 18, 2000 Hi all. I joined the list a while back and was really excited by all the information and support that was abundant on this list. I decided this surgery was just what I needed. I went to see my PCP and she agreed that I was a good candidate for surgery. However she recommended I have the surgery done by a local Dr. (open RNY). She was concerned that if a complication came up I would have trouble finding a DR willing to treat me. I went to see the local DR and he was very nice. But nice don't cut it when you are dealing with life or death. I consulted with him and got very little info. He seemed to be in a hurry. I did fill out forms at his office for the open RNY. I was told by a nurse that if I had not heard back from her in 6 weeks to call. I called and she had not heard from my insurance company and I should call them. When I called them, they had no knowledge of any info having been sent to them. Needless to say I was very frustrated. I did not call the DR's office back. Instead I rejoined this mailing list and started going back over the MGB site and 's site with a vengeance. So I have RE decided to work on having DR R perform my surgery. My husband feels this is the better surgery also. I do have a question for you that have already filled out the online form. In the list your diets section I am having a hard time remembering all the diets I have been on and off of. Also cannot remember all the weight I have lost and regained. Anyone else have a problem remembering all that? And what did you do about it? Sorry about the rambling letter. IM glad to be back on this list!
