Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Now I see him on occasion and he never once mentions the weight loss but is always asking about the side affects as if he doesn't believe that I don't have all the major issues that he predicted.>>>>> Same here, ! My pcp was taught in medical school by my surgeon (Welker) and has great respect for him but for some reason has a hard time believing how well the DS has worked for Mike and I.....I think he is astounded every time we have labs becuz they are always good....the opposite of what he thought would happen! Now he wont admit its a good thing yet....hes kinda thinking.... " well, lets wait and see if you live or die " LOL Some hard head he has! We're gonna show him!

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2001 Report Share Posted November 26, 2001 Sounds so familiar, just like my PCP. My brother is a family practitioner and even though he doesn't have much experience with the DS he is always asking questions and wants to make sure I am doing ok. Both my siblings that are doctors (my little sister is an OB/GYN) supported the surgery. They said even though it has its risks, the risk of carrying so much weight around was much worse. It was nice to have some medical support going into this. I saw my brother at Thanksgiving the first time since surgery and his only response was " you look good " . What a wonderful compliment from the kid who used to pick on me mercilessly!
