Guest guest Posted September 4, 2003 Report Share Posted September 4, 2003 I had an emergency appendectomy at 9 months post-op. My WLS surgeon happened to be in the hospital at the time (his baby was in the NICU) and came down to the emergency room when he heard that I was there. He ended up doing my surgery. I would guess that you could use any doctor to do the surgery, as long as they understood about the WLS so they weren't shocked when they got in there and found stuff all moved around. I was extremely releived that my WLS doc was able to do mine though, mainly because I trusted him as a surgeon. ---------------------------------------- Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.com http://www.5dollarhosting.com .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune!
