@koh and @cocha My surgeon ordered bloodwork for me and I got an appointment with a GP to at least check me over, but no luck so far on getting in with endo there. I spend a few hours calling around and managed to talk to someone very helpful at Scripps MD Anderson. They were sympathetic at least -- they fit me in to have a telemedicine visit with an endocrinologist on July 10th.
It's amazing to me that they would perform this surgery without any plan in place for a timely follow-up. Cutting me loose for four months after surgery just feels way too long.
How are you feeling @cocha since your surgery?
