I know my sugeon does not have any dietary follow-up after the surgery; it's the one of those " CUT AND RUN " rackets. The only follow-up I got was surgically. I am still trying to work with my pcp (as we muddle through this aftercare together). He was the one who saved my life after my surgery... it certainlly was not my surgeon or his staff. If it were not for support groups, such as this one, I would have NO idea how to take care of myself. I swear it is so hard when you are left " in the real world " without ANY help. It is scary how many must be out there like myself that doesn't know how to care for their bodies. There is still so much I don't understand... I wish I could get over this embarassement to ask you people the questions I need to. Not to metion the ones I haven't even thought to ask. **Sigh** kathy ******************************************* The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Kathy darlin, Ask away! We are totally here for you ok? Nothing is stupid...NOTHING! I think the only posts I have to breathe into a bag for are the ones where folks are too obsessed about losing and are paranoid even though they are doing just fine. It's a hot button for me only because I used to be like that lol..so it's my little problem I have to work on.
