Waiting Game

Apr 28, 2010

Well, we have moved to the Riverview FL area. I have been trying to get a new surgeon for my post-bypass care but no luck so far. I asked my surgeon in Charleston for a referral several times before we moved and at least once since then but nothing yet.  A bit disappointed about that.

My husband just got a new job and a gal there had this surgery a few months ago. She gave me her doctor's name but he doesn't accept any of my insurance (Medicaid and Medicare) so I am back to square one. I am also looking for a primary care provider and perhaps that should be the one I concentrate on for now. Let THEM help me find a bariatric surgeon for my follow-up care and then a plastic surgeon for that portion of my new life.

I am really looking forward to the tummy tuck but scared to death at the same time. Saw an episode on this type of surgery on Discovery Health and it scared me spitless! The pain this poor woman went through after her tuck! I don't care about the scars, I really don't but I am highly allergic to pain! LOL  Hopefully they will put me on hydrocodone again. That stuff worked best! And I didn't get addicted to it! :-)
