You know, I was approved on Valentine's day and right away got the flu... I was so happy (perversely) because it meant I would NOT get sick before my surgery a week from tomorrow. I didn't know then taht I would still have the sniffles STILL today... I think my brain has been replaced by a sea of snot! Hopefully I'll feel better by surgery time.

This is the best place to come when things like this happen. Because no want anyone can say, "they just can't understand what a post op is going through". Unless of course they laid on an OR table and had the surgery done to themselves. Keep the faith, Sandy

I know! Time went by really fast when you think about it My surgery is the same day March 18th! So we will be losers together!

You can do it! If you put your mind to anthing, you will do it! I have this food jornal on-line tool that your can track everything, even your exercise. Daily Plate. Check it out and start tracking EVERYTHING and you can see what may be holding you back. It will also be there when a Dr. is ready to look at all the hard work you have done. Good luck and YOU CAN DO IT!

I do agree with Sandy that youe should get another Dr after you confront your orginal WLS surgeron and are not happy with his attitude. At least if you confront him and get what you need to have closure to the relationship and feel good about standing up for yourself. Some Dr.'s are really not bad people, they think that tough love is going to kick you in gear and some patients are more sensitive than others. I had a Dr. that looked at me and said, "so your fat, what are you going to do about it?" I cried and then realized, hey he was right and I did something about it. That was the first time someone called me fat to my face and I had seen like 5 Dr.'s. Sometimes there is a reason that Dr.'s act the way they do, but I think it is your responsiblity to give your WLS surgeon a fair shake because he was the one that operated on you and know what the heck is going on in your body. If it is not possible because of personality conflicts, then say "NEXT". you have that right, but please give it your all because I bet that Dr, wants you to succeed as much as you do because he has something invested in it as well. If you succeed, then you both succeed.
