@kenc @dancing1. In my opinion, my obgyn surgeon or staff caused my problems. We do not have a colorectal surgeon locally, and so Dr Obgyn wants to do the surgery. What do you all think?

I understand completely and it was quite a process for me to find a Doctor I trusted fir my second colorectal surgery. My first was done while I lived here by Dr Venkatesh in Mesa years ago. I really loved him. But my ileostomy was done at UCSF by the colorectal head of surgery Dr M Varma. I lived in Rocklin Ca and it was worth the travel to UCSF.

What experience has the physician had in performing this complex surgery. This also includes the people assisting him the operating room and the post surgery staff. Also, what type of colorectal surgery is the doctor proposing?

@trishanna just curious, why do you think the Obgyn and staff caused your problems? If i truly felt this way, i would not go back to the same surgeon. But have you had a chance to talk with him? Just to discuss your problem now and to hear what hr has to say. Go in, very polite and assertive (not aggressive). See if it works
Let me know!
