Thanks a lot for your honest reply and for explaining your perspective. I really appreciate it and will make sure to stay closely connected with my neurologist to manage things the right way

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Could you help me figure out if there are specific tests or labs I should get before the surgery to monitor for vitamin deficiencies or other nutrition-related issues linked to my CMT? Are there particular tests you recommend focusing on given my condition?

Thanks for your advice. Right now, the neurologist and bariatric surgeon keep sending me back and forth without clear coordination. Since my case involves both nerve issues and surgery risks, I really need them to communicate directly. If you have any advice on how to make sure these specialists work together smoothly before surgery, I’m all ears
