A little worried?!

May 16, 2010

I don't know if I have mentioned before, but my PCP is a good friend of mine.  It is great to have someone in the medical field that I can go to and get a straight answer from.  However, the bad thing is that sometimes she can tell me too much.  I hadn't talked to her in a while, and she stopped after church today to ask if I had made any decisions about my surgery.  I told her that I think I had, but I will really make my final decision on Tuesday when I meet with my surgeon.  She has been a big supporter of the lap-band procedure because it is less invasive.  My surgeon believes that in order to truly shed the excess weight and maintain the loss bypass is the way to go.  Anyway, she asked me what hospital I would be having my surgery in and I told her.  She hugged me and said that she loves me too much to let me go to that hospital.  Granted, the last time I went to this particular hospital I did not have a very good experience.  But I really trust the surgical team and believe that they will make the experience a good one.  However, knowing that my PCP doesn't favor the kind of surgery I am going to hopefully have and the hospital that I am going to have it in doesn't really put my heart in a good place.  She said that if I changed my mind that she would write a referral for me to another surgeons office in the area that she has referred people to before.  Don't know what to think?!
