Topic: Do you think this was rude?
I seriously think I'm going to complain to my hospital about a rude ultrasound tech there. I want to see what you all think and make sure I'm not overreacting because I am pregnant and very hormonal right now. Even though my hubby does think it was rude too. Anyway...I was at the hospital because I was having pain and had to get an ultrasound. Everything turned out fine. When I was about to get the ultrasound the tech asked me if I had had any major surgeries and I told her gastric bypass surgery. She acted suprised because she said said I was so young. I told her I'm 23 and she said "Wow you are only 23 and already had to have weight loss surgery. It must have taken a lot of work to get that big, that quick." I thought that was so rude! I told her actually it didn't, I have PCOS which caused me to gain a lot of my weight and then made it hard to lose. But I don't think she really cared. Then she said "Well do you have any fat pictures?" I despise the word FAT. I was called fat my whole life and even though I'm no longer fat, I still hate the word and it still stings my heart, you know what I mean? I just think that was rude too! She could of said "do you have any before pictures" or something like that. She should not of used the word fat. And by the way I didn't show her the before pi****ep in my purse just because I thought she was a b*tch! But she weighed about 105 pounds and probably never had a weight problem in her life. I could tell she's one of those people that think obese people "just need to stop eating so much." So what do you all think of those comments? Worth complaining over? They made me really mad.

I just joined the site this evening and your post is one of the first I have read. I wanted to send my condolences. Please do not second-guess your surgery, and please do not feel responsible or guilty for something that was not in your control. You cannot bear the burden of God's will, but I hope you will reach out to God to help you through this painful time. I have copied a link to a poetry site specifically related to the loss of a child. It may help with your grieving process to read the words written by others who have shared in your loss. My heart aches for you. I am so sorry for your loss. God's blessings to you and your family. You are in my prayers. You are welcome to write to me if you ever need someone to listen. I will be here for you. http://www.thelaboroflove.com/prose/loss.html

Hello Fello Novemberers!! What a great idea sphinxy One!!! OK here's what I've been up to: 1. 99lbs. since surgery, added to the 19 I lost before..because I refuse to forget those 19lbs. LOL I have lost a GRAND TOTAL of 118lbs!!!! HIP HIP HURRAY!!! 2. Yes I have, I first thought I would be happy at around 170lbs. but now that I surpassed that, I'm thinking more like 155lbs. so time will tell...I am at 159 right now, and feel very good about myself. 3. We have been invited to go to Kaui Hawaii with friends, and I had thought that I wouldn't mind forgoing that trip to put $$$'s towards plastics, but have changed my mind (I am woman) because I want to give my body a year to settle in and see if this skin is going to firm up any on its own...hoping and praying it does!!! 4. actually I only have 4 lbs. to go to reach my goal...yeah me!! TOTAL LBS LOST BY NOVEMBER BABIES= 2459 Thanks gals for letting me post late and still listening!! Debi

Thank you all so very much! We are doing a bit better each day and really taking the time to appreciate all God has blessed us with. I am at peace knowing our first son, who we lost at 23.5 weeks along, now has a sibling to keep him company in heaven. I can feel all of your prayers working and just want you to know how grateful I am for your concern and condolences! They mean so much to me God bless all of you! Erica

Erica, I am so sorry to hear of your miscarriage. I too had a miscarriage - at 11 1/2 weeks. I had had a mamaogram when I was less than a week pregnant and I still, at times, wonder if I had known I was pregnant and didnt have the mamogram if the baby would have been. It is hard but I will never know the reason why while I am on this earth, like you said, I guess God had other plans. Regardless, I know the pain of the loss of a baby through miscarriage as well and I am praying for healing for you and your husband. God bless you and keep you, ~Andrea
