I'm in Ohio but northeastern part.Anyone here from the Bowling Green area? I'm having surgery at Wood County under Dr. Lalor. Would love to talk to someone who has had him as their surgeon!
Yes. I've already done all those steps. Joining a support group was my last step I believe. Now we'll schedule my pre-op appointment and surgery in March.Hi MiMi! We are shooting for May. I'm still in the process. I joined in January. I've had all the tests, seen the nutritionist and the psychiatrist. I have to see my cardiologist in March for a clearance and in April I see my PCP for a clearance. If all that goes ok, it will be in May. How are you doing? Do they have the same process in Carey for you to follow as far as nutritionist, psychiatrist, etc.?
Which surgery did you have? I've been wondering what my recovery will be like.I live in Toledo. I have a friend who had Dr. Lalor for his surgery and he liked him. He said he's not seen him post surgery so he doesn't have much to say about him. I had Dr. Parodi in Toledo. I really liked him. I had not one iota of pain or gas after my surgery.
I am having the by pass in May. I'm still working thru all the steps per insurance. But I am doing well. and talking with lots of people both on line and in person. I really am trying to learn all I can about the surgery and its risks and benefits. I am 66 and on blood thinners so I have a few risk issues with those. Dr. Lalor said he is always concerned with older patients because of their risk issues but luckily all my tests came out perfect. Not one issue showed up. So that is very reassuring. You said you had Dr. Parodi. What surgery did you have?Which surgery did you have? I've been wondering what my recovery will be like.
