Update on me!!! Bet you thought I was missing!!

Hi everyone!!! So I know I have been MIA on this board so I will tell you that I have been SOOO busy!!! Nursing school is kicking my butt... I guess in a good way!! I started my pediatrics rotation today and I think that I am going to love it!! Anywho... so let me tell you the crappy news first... I went for my 3 week check up last Friday (yeah- my surgery was WAY longer than 3 weeks)... the appointment was at 11- after waiting until 12:15 (by which time I am starting to get really upset) the doctor walks in looks at my incisions then walked out at 12:16... I was LIVID!!! Seeing as how I think I am B12 def. I was really hoping to talk to him about it.... I am EXHAUSTED ALL THE TIME!!!! The good news on the other hand is that I am officially under 300 lbs... 299.8!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not been 299 in YEARS!!! I have lost 54 pounds and I feel great- other than being utterly exhausted!!! I had to buy new scrubs because I tried on the ones from last semester and I looked like a 4 year old in my dad's clothes!!  So that is my update and I will try really hard to get onto the site more often!!! I love you guys and I hope to see you all soon!!! -Juliana

We have missed you and it's great to hear that you are doing well with your weight loss. I'm so sorry to hear that you are soooo tired though. I can appreciate your frustration with not getting the time you needed with your Dr. I had that happen too and I contacted them to let them know it wasn't okay with me. They scheduled another appointment for me right away and I was able to spend the time I needed, to the get answers I needed. If you need more time with your Dr., let them know. It's your health, you need to have your questions addressed.

Re: your concerns about your B12 Deficiency. Call and ask to speak to one of the RNP's and ask them to run a panel for you. I'm sure that can be done at your earliest convenience.

Keep on losing ...

Hugs,

Barb

P.S. Tell you dear mother I send my warmest regards.
