PCP Appt Today

Well I had my PCP appointment this morning.  I lost a whole nother 3 lbs since Tuesday!!!    I had to get a whole physical, because when I asked the nutritionist to have sign the bariatric paperwork, my PCP must have felt like someone was piddling in his corner.  Soooooo... he is happy with what I am doing.  He said he will support me for the surgery, but does so "hesitantly."    He said he would rather see me do it on my own through the lifestyle changes I have made, and he is also of the opinion that once I get my CPAP machine the weight will start dropping off of me - yeah okay pal, and I'm the pope's daughter.  I laughed at him, and told him with a BMI of around 57 that's not very likely.  He said that he's seen "a lot of people" get the surgery, and lose a lot of weight and then put it back on and then more.  WTF?  What people are these?    Whatever Dr. Reese.   So I asked him again if he was going to fill out the paperwork and send it the the bariatric center. He said yes.  I placated him and told him "ya never know - there's still a lot of time befroe I'll be able to get the surgery."  Dumb a$$.  So anyhow a NSV and a SV for me today!!!  

Good going, Jennifer. 
            You stood up for yourself without hurting your PCP's feeling.  My PCP said he was behind me in the WLS. Now he is unhappy because I'm losing weight "too fast." What was he expecting. Some people I just can't please.     Mag   

You're right Mag, can't please everyone.  You should point out Extreme Makevoer Weight Loss Edition to your PCP, and tell him to chill! lol 

Congrats on getting your needs filled Jennifer. As long as the paperwork got signed. Yayy on losing weight, you rock!!

You are on your way!!!!!!!! Great job on your weightloss. You are doing awesome. Glad he signed off for you. Keep us posted on how the whole process is going as you move along! Cpap's don't help with weightloss, unless you are suddenly extremely more active, but still not a weight control fix. Best of luck in everything!

Yeah, I know CPAP's don't help with weightloss.  My husband has one - it never shed any pounds for him.  My doc sounded kinda nuts about a few things if you ask me.  lol

Some docs just get somethings in thier heads and thats that... they can be so clsed minded!
