Happy Hump Day!

Hey Everyone! Yay it's Wednesday 1/2 Way Until the Weekend. There is a couple things going on day so I wanted to find out how everyone's hump day is going?!?!?!

As for me: Local Support Group Tonight! Yay! 

OoOO and Today is Christines Surgery Day! She is on the 20's OH Board too! I haven't heard from her yet.

I have an appointment with my PCP ... hopefully my last appointment, cause I hate my PCP and wanna switch. :P She's just going to tell me how my results were after my thyroid ultrasound.. I tried to get her to call me with the results but she never did.. she just wants my money so I gotta come in. I also have to come up with a presentation before one of my classes tomorrow. Blegh...

OoOo goodness I know what its like NOT to like your PCP! I had a PCP for almost a year...found out my insurance covered wls. He said "Oh No! Your not taking the easy way out...you need to start running" that was the last time I saw him. I called the place where I am going to have my surgery and said I know I am 3 1/2 hours away which PCPs have you worked with before they gave me 3 doc names. I had an appt the next day with the first one and I fell in love with him. SUPPORTED ME in everything now I am so close to my surgery date! 

My PCP is basically a dolt. I told her about these really bad abdominal pain I was having and how I'd been to my school doctor and she thought it was acid reflux... and put me on a bland diet ... but that I was pretty sure it wasn't that. I told her it was REALLY really painful and not really a burning sensation but I had no clue what it could be. She kept saying it was acid reflux and such and I spent 3 years having this pain every 2 or 3 months or however often. The only thing she did was test me for an ulcer which I didn't have. I'd even called before in the middle of the night to get the doctor on call and they said just take a lot of mylanta etc. which never worked. Usually the pain went away in a couple hours regardless of the meds. Then one time last month I got the pain at 3:30 in the morning, same damn pain, took all the meds I could and waited till 5am for my mom to wake up... me still in the same amount of pain or worse.
She said basically I could go to the ER or try to wait it out.... I was in so much pain i just really wanted some good pain meds... also I figured I was probably going to miss my class in the morning so i needed a note too but I felt REALLY silly going into the ER if it was just common acid reflux.
I ended up going to the ER and then getting xray and ultrasound, etc.... and there it was ... I had gallstones... I didn't even know gallstones caused pain... or that I was a pretty darn good candidate for gallstones either... or what they were at all... so i got my pain meds and went home.... wasn't till 1:30pm that the pain was gone.
So I made an appointment with my PCP for 2 days later and she's like "well I wish they'd gven you a stronger antacid, yes you have gallstones but I still think your pain might be acid reflux." WTF woman! I reminded her how I had thought all along that it was a different pain and way too strong to be acid reflux, but she still stuck to her guns. So then I switched to another PCP in the same office for future appointments but the other lady wasn't supportive really of my decision to try for wls. She actually laughed at me cause she says I won't be approved and acted like I was silly for hoping for it. So yeah... I heard about another PCP some of my WLS friends go to in the area who has actually had WLS and once I get the office's number I will try to switch.
What ****** me off most is that I've had the gallbladder pain probably for about 3 years now... and If I'd known I needed gallbladder surgery last year when my mom told me she was having WLS and when I was bigger and nearly 40 bmi... I would have considered WLS much more seriously considering I needed surgery anyway.

Well I'm at work, which is okay I guess, I've got a lot of paperwork I need to catch up on.  I need to find a black dress or something on my lunch break for a memorial service tomorrow for one of my friend's mother :( And I also need to go to wal-mart to get some essentials.  Overall this is going to be a busy day and I don't really want it to be, I want to be able to go home and fall asleep on the couch!

well its being a very borring day so gar. work is slow today and the most exciting thing of 2day is gym hahaha. no plans 4 tonight  just relax. any ideas?
