What do you do when you feel like nothing goes your way?

Well I went and See Dr. Oakley for all my pre-op stuff and I HATE HIS SCALE, I have been doing great weighing in and his scale says that I weigh 374 ohhhhhhhhhhhh I was pissed off, I told him I weighed on two differn't scales at two differn't places and both said I was 361 the day before I dont understand 13 pounds difference, he didn't say congratulation or anything on the weight loss, but I dont care about that he said he would like me to get another 5 to 10 lbs off before I have the surgery, well duh I know the more weight I get off the better it will be on me and the more confortable he will be doing the surgery,   I did ask the DEATH QUESTION this time around and I was told by his assistant that he has never lost any one on the table, but after surgery yes, because they were not real healthy going in, well **** neither am I, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I just wish I could feel 100% confortable with all this and be at compleate ease with it... So after I lest his office I went to the pre-surgery clinic and had blood work went over everything and got pre-regerstered yeaaa, so I just go in, Dr. Oakley said if my weight goes above 375 HE WILL NOT DO THE SURGERY and it will depend on the hospital scale in pre-op,  OKAY ANOTHER SCALE I HAVE NOT WEIGHED ON BEFORE.   So when we left the pre-surgery clinic I went to the so called Pre-op area where they weigh you before surgery and THEY WOULD NOT LET ME WEIGH, I was pissed again, I just thoought pray, leave it to god he knows best.... I just wanted to see the difference in the scale to Dr. O's. Enough about that yesterday I went in for a 4 hour Iron transfusion where I weighed and was 362, again differn't scale but close to the others I have been weighing on I thought it went by pretty fast the ladys/nurses were fantastic and so nice, but do I have nice bruises up and down my arms for blood work at pre-surgery clinic and the iron transfusion. Also kinda a little sad, my parents for christmas every year buys a quarter of a beef for eah one of there children and familys, I wont get a steak, so sad, we got the meat yeasterday and Alan and Spencer had a T-bone and I was faithful and had my shake....and water.....but I did have some cucumbers, they were great.... well I am real tired today so I am going to get off here, take care and God bless, Kristy

Kristi, Hugs to you sweetie. Hang in there. You stay strong so you can have your surgery. I'm sorry that your Dr. is being so rude about your weight. There will be lots and lots of steaks in your future and believe me, if you are anything like I am, a steak won't even sound good to you after surgery. I am 6 weeks out now and I am never hungry at all. Such a new concept for me and I know you will do fantastic.  Hugs to you and hang in there. Annie W.

Oh Kristy how agravating. You hang in there girl. You have gone through so much. You are going to do great. Hugs. Jo

HEY KRISTY,       BLESS YOUR HEART... YOU JUST HAD ONE OF THEM DAYS HUH>? BUT YOU HAVE TO SAY YOU ARE MORE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK... BACK IN THE DAY IF THAT ALL CAME ABOUT I WOULD HAVE HIT THAT BLUE BELL ICECREAM BUCKET PRETTY HARD.. AND SEE, YOU DIDNT EVEN DO THAT.. JUST LOOK AT IT LIKE THIS... ONE DAY LEADS INTO ANOTHER AND ANOTHER.. AND AS LONG AS YOU GIVE IT YOUR ALL BEST WELL THATS ALL YOU CAN DO... THAT SCALE BUSINESS WAS ENOUGH TO CHOKE A CHICKEN OVER THOUGH....JUST STAY BUSY AS YOU CAN AND JUST LEAVE IT ALONE... IT WILL MAKE YA TOTALLY SICK OVER THE STRESS THAT YOU CANT EVEN CONTROL.... CANT SEE WHY YOU WEIGHIN WOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN ISSUE WITH THEM... JEEZ... BUT ONCE AGAIN... IF NOT WALKING IN OUR SHOES THEY HAVE NO FRIGGIN IDEA HUH??? GUESS WE COULD WRITE A BOOK ON THAT ONE BY THE END OF THESE WLS JOURNEYS... HUGS MARGE

My surgeon's scale always weighs 5-7lbs lower than any other scales (so I am never actually sure how much weight I've lost, because I don't know if my starting weight with them was accurate - but now I do like weighing in there since its always lower than at home!).  I wish that was the case for you too sweetie.  My doc was also a jerk about the pre-op weight to some extent, and 16lbs in a month just wasn't good enough, but once you get through all these hurdles and have surgery and especially once you feel better AFTER surgery, all of these irritations will sort of fade into you memory and won't seem as bad as it actually was.  I wish you the best!
