|  Quick Update
Hello everyone and Happy Holidays! I just wanted to pop on and give you all an update. I haven't been happy with my pcp for awile now and finally saw a new doc today. This guy was totally unexpected ~ imagine a doc that hasn't changed since 1969 - ponytail and all! However, we must not judge a book by it's cover~ I really liked him, very down to earth. We went over my med hx and discussed my various surgeries, etc. He looked over all my records, labs, dexascan, etc and asked about my diet, exercise, supplements, meds, and even social and family interactions since my WLS. The good news is I'm doing fine  This was good news since I was concerned about the osteopenia and some mildly abnormal labs. He did order labs to see where we are now but was very encouraging. He did reiterate the importance of getting in calcium, vit D, and getting in weight bearing exercises and was supportive of my hormone replacement therapy. He asked my catalyst for WLS ~ I told him I wanted to live and I wanted to be healthy enough to enjoy it! I am so thankful for such a positive office visit and am looking forward to the new year with renewed enthusiasm (sp?) Wishing you all the best

I think its great you made the switch. Honey my neurologist has a ponytail. I have not problem with it because it becomes him and it dont have a thing to do with his intelligence. Nothing. LOL Hes good. I have been told hes the best on the east coast where I live. I dont know about that but hes been very good to me.
Changes are good I do think. Somtimes you see one so much they dont seem to listen to you any more. Im proud of you for making that move.

Great to hear you found someone you like. I changed PCP's about 2 yrs ago and have really appreciated having someone who takes the time to talk and not just write another prescription without listening.
