Topic: RE: I made an appt FINALLY
It is great that you have made an appointment to be seen. So many people have trouble with some regain, you are not alone. You have kept off the majority of your weight loss, so you should not feel like a failure. You have done great. You can get back to where you want to be.
All my best

Topic: I made an appt FINALLY
Well...some of you know that I've been over 2 yrs from following up with Dr Aranow and his practice for my RNY...laziness, lack of focus on my own health, having my PCP do the blood work, yadda yadda yadda...every excuse not to go in...I'll be 4 yrs out in Sept.
SO, Stacey called me today and told me that the blood work that I had done by my PCP didn't include everything they liked to have checked....and, it looked as if I wasn't coming back to see them...
I said, "Yes, I want to"...and she cut me off saying..."When we send a patient a certified letter and recieve the signed card back...it's their proof that they contacted us and their right not to see us again and to close our file."...
WOW...I guess it's fair! So, I made an appointment with his new aprn...she sees all the post ops and she's on time and doesn't make us wait...WooHooo!!! I'm going on Sept 14th at 10:30!
One of my huge issues was that he was going to scold me for gaining 25 lbs and for not coming in and such...I have a complex about his judging me. Don't know why...Cause he's a pretty boy, I guess...That surgeon's inflated ego, I guess.
I'm having my blood work done again before I go in.
My thyroid is caput and I have to take Synthroid now, that's a new issue...family history big time.
I feel good about this. Relieved that I'll get good care for my RNY and not have to see the doc! Why do I let myself feel so inferior and intimidated? We used to have a great working relationship..I guess I'm just afraid that he's pissed that I haven't been in. Crap in my head.
