completely pissed
so I just had a post op appt. 2 mths today!!!! Down 30lbs! I'm stuck at 254 for over a week now, and I always get stuck at this weight, but I will get through it.
I get there and the damn PA asked me the same damn question 5 times. Do you feel dizzy, 5 min later do you feel dizzy, 10 min later have you had any dizziness?? OMFG, are you kidding? THENNNNN, they keep saying, oh you had the band, not bypass, you don't need this or that...5 minutes later, oh you had the band not the bypass....HOLY MOTHER EFFER, are you kidding. I HAD THE BAND, NOTTTTTTTTTTTT BYPASS ******** Then, yes then, I met w/ the NUT, she is talking and asked how I was doing. I said I'm good, she asked about the B12 shot, and then in the same breath, "Oh you didn't have the bypass." No NO NO NO NO NO NO, i didn't have the bypass, I had band. ALL and I mean ALL the diet guidelines they gave me they didn't have anything on the band, not a damn thing. Then I asked if they had a card, for me to take into resturants and get a kids meal, and I get, "Oh we usually give those to the bypass patients" ARE YOU FKIN KIDDING ME??????????????????????? I said, "Um I would like one, because while I DIDN"T have the bypass, I still can't eat a whole lot, just like YOU said to only eat less then a cup." She said well contact the dietary dept and tell them to send you one. I never got how many calories that I should be doing right now. So, does anyone know at this point how many I should have???
I then asked can I have a card from the Realize band, for security purposes. Oh you should have gotten one at your first post op. well idiot, I didn't or I would be asking you now.
I also asked about depression meds. I feel that I am slipping into a bad depression. I got ,"I can't do anything with that you have to contact your PCP"...I get that, I really do, but they can't help w/ a weeks worth of depression meds, until I get in? UGHHHHHHHHHH
So I know I'm just rambling and venting, but I am really pissed and offended. This place is supposed to be a GREAT place for biatric surgery, but it seems that they only care about the bypass patients. Please dont take this that I am bashing the bypass or anything, but I'm just pissed that these people did surgery on me, but yet have a hard time giving me post op instructions....UMMMM, something is wrong w/ this picture. Sorry again for venting, but thanks all for listening...

yes that is very bad! I would tell them and contact the dietitian.
I believe you should have 60 mg protien, 1200mg calcium citrate with vit D and 3 vitamin a day.
Eat your protien first then veggies/ fruit and carb last. I was never told a calorie amount.
I buy all my suppliments at St vincents Hospital in Carmel, at the Women's Health Boutique. They have a web site with free shipping and you can call and ask questions too! Dont have to be a patient there to get advice!
