Thyroid and Scleroderma Appts. Tomorrow

Jan 07, 2009

Yup... it's true. I didn't originally mention it because... well..... I was scared that I would be told I didn't qualify. Good news! I did some research and found that with Scleroderma I don't qualify for the Lap-Band but I would for Roux-en Y or perhaps the DS.

I've got my first appointment with my Rheumatologist for the Scleroderma at The Arthritis Centre, Riverside Hospital. I feel a bit more confident talking with him as I did a lot of research for both Thyroid and Scleroderma. I've got references for him as well as articles and white papers that say good things (and some bad) on the RNY.

I hope as well to get a referral to a new Endroconologist as mine has since retired. They've opened up The Canadian Thyroid Foundation at the same clinic as my Rheumatologist so that will be so convenient.

If anyone has information that may help with my plea, please reply.
