Ok people here is the deal, The boss has consider me for a project in Milwaukee, Wi. ok not Milwaukee is Delafield, Wisconsin not bad, you might think great, a promotion. I thought the same thing, but I started to think about the Doctor who is doing the follow up of my post operation, thought about the nutrition specialist I am seeing.

I really want to go to live back to the States, but how do I manage the Doctor change and psicologist and the whole Enchilada that I have cooked here.

In general my wife say not to worry and just let me know when I start packing the bags.

Has anyone had any experience like this one, consider that I only have had 4 and half months after the operation.

PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT..... TIPS

And yes even though I have lived in Chicago I am not to wild about the idea of the cold weather in Wisconsin........


Thanks for the Therapy you may provide.........

this would be the like the 15th time I move from place to place in my whole life.

That would be hard to move this early out...however I can tell you there are several surgeons who specialize in RNY.....cuz I had mine done in Milwaukee. Check out the Bariatric Instititute.......there are 4 surgeons.

Good luck with your move. And yes it is cold in Wisconsin. Brrrrrrrrr It is 28 and very windy right now.

i say if you want to you can!! ( can do attitude can help move mountains) yes it is early out but a fresh start will help you find your new way. i wish i could move someplace new and start fresh post op....wait i did!!! and it was the BEST thing i could have done. granted i didnt move out of the country, but none the less i moved and it worked out. you WILL find a way. think about it. be comfortable with it. things change all the time. we have to get use to life going on ya know? let us know how you make out with this i think you will be fine.

I have several types of specialty med needs and am moving across the country shortly. What has worked for ME is to gather the INFO re: the new Doc's offc (phone #, address, etc) and have the existing specialist call the new place and "make a referral" to get me a quick appointment set up for when I arrive. Otherwise it can take months to get in!!! I can't be without my Docs, meds, etc. That's my best recommendation. Where are you right now?

XOXO

Wow ~ congrats on the promotion. Sound like your wife is supportive as well - that's extremely important! It's not like you're gonna move to a desert island somewhere, I'm sure you can do so homework and find a Center of Excellence or some other certifying board to locate a new doctor. I appreciate your apprehension, but I think it's doable if all other aspects come together.

I would say if it something that you would be happy with, go for it. I would also find a doc ahead of time and get things set up before the move. A new start to a new life.

Congratulations on the promotion.

Check out the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery's site for centers of excellence, they have a state by state list.

This may be the best thing that's ever happened to you! You may find an incredible facility here that you love...and of course, YOU STILL HAVE US!!!

Thanks you are absolutely right. things happen for a reason, and yes all that you say is on the right track.

Let's see where this train takes us. as you say and agree 100% everything happens for a reason...

I am worried about moving a house again, two girls 12 and 11. ufff I'll let you know as things start to move along...

Thanks
