I saw the Nurse Practitioner, the dietitian and the social worker at my six month follow up. They were all one-on-one appointments and all very helpful and reassuring. They went through my blood work, supplements and meds and my food logs and answered all my questions. The social worker asked about how I was adjusting to new habits and lifestyle and had some positive suggestions for tracking and setting goals while staying balanced and sane!

At the one year followup I saw the dietician and Nurse Practitioner who again were very helpful and then a psychology grad student who was not very helpful. I found the session was actually pretty pointless. Just a battery of insensitive questions with no empathy. But others may have had a more enlightening experience.

On the whole I think the post-surgical follow we get is really amazing. I am very grateful for the excellent care.

Good luck with your appointments!

^^^ My 6 month follow up was just as Helfer describes, all one-on-ones and very helpful and positive.
