Talked with the docs office

Jun 04, 2009

I had a long convo with Dee at Dr Smith's office.  She is going to send me the seminar on video and also the application.  My step to see Dr M is the right one as she has to agree to provide non-surgical follow-up (blood pressure, and other routine stuff).  I can't imagine that she won't agree.

I know Drs Harwood and Hamblin would have been very very supportive so we'll have to see what I get out of the current pill doc.  Since she appear to be super obese herself.

Dee said that Dr Smith does not allow use of any NSAIDs although much of the literature says it i ok with the Switch.  Not all my pain is from carrying weight around.  I still have a lot of tingling and discomfort in my shoulders and neck so it will sbe interesting to ee if Dr M thinks i can live the rest of my life without useing nsaids.  this may be the stumbling block.

I'm looking forward to getting the application and video but Dee said it takes a long time to get mailed and i won't get it for up to 2 weeks.  i hope she is just saying that because occasionally things get delayed and she doesn't want/need to deal with phone calls saying they haven't received it yet.

So now, I have the weekend ALONE!!!! and I have to get a plan of what I want to accomplish and get off this computer.
