Looking for a new doctor
Doing well! Just trying to lose a little re-gain before it turned into a big re-gain. Feeling good otherwise! :)

I actually asked my surgeon for a recommendation. I told her who I had narrowed my list down to with my insurance and location, I had called the offices and asked some key questions that mattered to me: Can you handle 3 more patients? Does the dr have a bias toward or against WLS? How long does it usually take to get some one in if they are sick and need a soon appt, and so on. Then I took the list to my surgeon and said, "I'm changing my PCP, do any of these people stand out as a good choice to you?" She said Dr. Keech! All his patients have really good lab levels! And, I thought, "AWESOME!" I want really good lab levels!!
Now that I've been in to see him a few times, I know it is because his PA did a 6 month internship at WLS COE and really learned a lot about the kind of care we need. He's not perfect, but he draws labs whenever I ask, and my levels in everything but iron are AWESOME! And, my iron is well on it's way so I'm not complaining!!
Huggles!!
