Topic: RE: Frustrated at the Doctor's office staff!
I have the same dammm problem with this office staff, they are horrible, unprofessional office staff.  After my surgery I had a follow up 2 weeks later my appointment was for 12pm and they did not take me in until after 1pm.  I am hoping that I never need anything from these people and deal with my primary care Doctor instead... If I was to do this over again I would change the surgeon because of the office staff...

Any  dont let anyone tell you if your nice to them they will be nice to you... IT DOESN'T WORK...

Good luck...

I love Dr.G but I think she needs to hire a new office staff. They act like everything in such an inconvience. I called one time and got the biggest attitude so I havent called back since. I really dont have any advice because Im also waiting for my 2nd appointment.

According to my scale at home I am finally under 200 lbs!!!!!!!

I had to get on the damm thing three times because I didn't believe it. I am 6 months post op and I am over half way to my goal weight. I am shocked and amazed however, I couldn't have accomplished this on my own. I owe some credit to all the wonderful people I have met from the support meetings and OH. You all inspire me and I just want to say Thank You

Topic: RE: i bit the bullet
I am glad to see you followed the Dr's directions and made it back home.
You might want to try the protein bullets. They pack a high amount of protein, 45g, in a small amount of liquid, 3oz. I don't like the taste of them. But I remind myself it is only 3 oz and more then 1/2 of the protein I need in a day. Some people add water or Crystal Light to them. Myself I just want to get it down and over. You could set a kitchen time for every 10 min to make sure you are drinking something. Just sounds like you have to go back to  the basics. I can't believe it has been 8 weeks already. Hang in there you will make it through this.

Topic: i bit the bullet
hi everyone...

i went to my dr's appointment on thursday, ( i am approximately 8 weeks out) explained everything to the doctor from beginning to end. with that being said, i became a direct admit to the hospital!!!!  meaning, i left there and went straight to RWMC. i didnt have time to think about it, and come up with an excuse or change my mind...
the dr was concerned that i might have a stricture (opening to the stomach being to small) well, happy to report, after being scoped, that wasn't the case....
however, because i am so severly dehydrated, that was causing my nausea which caused me to vomit, which made me dehydrated and became this vicious cycle!!!
after 8 iv sticks later, they finally got a vein, and pumped some serious amount of fluids and vitamins in.
i am home now, after begging the dr to let me go.... he just shook his head, and chuckled... ( i know he was thinking i am a pain in the ass, and he's right...lol)

i am making a concious effort to do all the things i am suppose to ... again!!!! otherwise, it was suggested that i am going to end up with a PIK line in me, and feeding myself fluids and vitamins through that.

if anyone has any suggesstions for me to get in some protein...please forward it...
(did i mention my bloodwork showed my protein count and everything else was in the toilet!!!!!) i guess that was to be expected!

well, just thought i would give everyone an update... hope all is well!!!!

take good care
linda
