Ask for Dee and tell her what is happening. She can check with Dr. K. and get some answers for you. They may even look at the possibility of moving your surgery date forward, especially with the hernia causing pain. You may also be able to email Dr. K. directly. There is a link on the web page for you to do that. www.gr-ds.com Sorry I can't offer any more info than that. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Check with Dr.K's office...It's probably not anything to worry about, too much. Now, if it were an Iguanal hernia, then you'd have a problem!! _____ From: Laurie [mailto:hevnbound1@...] Sent: Saturday, March 13, 2004 11:19 AM Subject: Hernia problems I'm getting really worried because I have a new hernia.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 You may want to call the office first thing on Monday morning. Ask for Dee > and tell her what is happening. She can check with Dr. K. and get some > answers for you. Jerry, My point was that I want to talk to Dr. K personally, himself. I need to do that and that would make me feel so much more comfortable. I knew right away when Dr. Quinn called me from Milwaukee that she wasn't the doctor for me by her " I haven't got time for you " attitude on the phone. Not to mention it took her ONE MONTH to return my call after 3 phone calls and one email. I had decided to just forget her. And her phone call confirmed I was right to feel that way. You can really tell a lot about a person just by talking to them on the phone. So, does anyone know if Dr. K will call me personally and when the best time is to call?

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 call or email Dr. K he will help you and if you wait to long he will not be happy with you for not calling him sooner take care amber Hernia problems I'm getting really worried because I have a new hernia. I believe it would be classified as an inguinal hernia. It's right above the crease below my panni in the LLQ. But this puppy is SORE. Especially more so at night after being active all day. It's getting really bad, really fast!! I'm not sure I can wait 6 months to have it taken care of. It's starting to bulge and that's what is causing my abdominal pain according to my surgeon's PA. Once in a while, after eating, I have such bad abdominal cramps that I can't stand up straight and it feels better when I lean over a counter and put pressure on my abdomen. The pain after eating happens up in the unbilical area. I have two hernias now. The lower one and the one at the top of my RNY incision. That one doesn't bother me. You know, I was just thinking that I would feel so much more comfortable if I could just talk to Dr. Keshishian himself about certain procedures. Does he ever talk on the phone to prospective patient's he hasn't met yet? Or only after he's met you? Hugs, Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Laurie Call/email the office and explain to Dee that you want to talk directly to Dr. K. Explain to her that you feel it is an important part of making your decision on choosing a Doctor you havent' met yet (because of your experience with Dr. Quinn) and making that commitment to travel. It is free to ask! But please understand that you can't expect to get Dr. K on the phone for every question, every ache or pain...that is why he has Poor overworked Dee!
