Oh Suzy - talk about confusion for a while there! I'm glad that it all got straightened out for you and you were able to do all your follow-up care here in Windsor. Thanks for filling me in on how it worked for you!

Hi Deb
The surgeons don't get paid to see you after surgery which is why they put the bariatric centres in place for pre and post op care. As someone said earlier you might see them if there's a major problem but that's not even certain.

Hi Jennifer!
Oh, I didn't know that about the pay schedule - that seems pretty strange! It would definitely help explain why you're able to see your own doctor for follow-up care. Thanks for the info!

Hi Deb
You'll see your doctor from the bariatric centre for follow up for the first five years, then your own doctor.
