      My tailbone sticks out and it's very uncomfortable to sit or laying on my back. Now sleep on side. You could say I have a boney butt. LOL

      Chelly exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all of a sudden there is NO padding in that area.. went to chiro again last night, said fix me but don't touch that area, I was off Monday by 3/4 inc, and last night by 1/2 inch and I sleep with a pillow between my legs buts it just my own body adjusting ,,, will be thinking about butt check implants if this continues !!!

      I know how you feel it seems my back side is hurting more now that I have lost weight from carrying all the weight before I now found out besides the bulging , detereating, degenerating discs in y back I have 5 fractures on my spine , next step is seeing a orthapedic surgeon , because the ciropractor said for me being adjusted is temporary and it would not help any more and I can not sit for a long time with out it being uncomfortable .

  8. gotta agree with some comments, was there really a need to change the website?

  9. Grr, walked out of a doctors office, 2nd time its happened, first one signed in, dr just takes door closest to her. waited 45 mins. hubs said we are out of here.

      1st time, my apt was at 8, was finally seen at 9ish, I had one foot out the door. Same thing this time apt at 1, it was 1:45, my hubby said go check at counter, I asked if dr. was already seeing patients and they said yes. I'm like I'm the first one that signs in, I said this is the second time this has happened, I'm not waiting ,my insurance better not be charged. I drove 5 minutes to my regular dr. who took me in, waiting 10 minutes , in a room, got my results that I was supposed to get from other dr, plus meds for a sinus infection. I will reschedule but when it's convenient for me!

      Really sorry that happened and while I am not sure it is defendable, I can tell you that every surgeon I have ever been to (bariatric, orthopedic, etc.) ALWAYS run that behind. It is very frustrating. I think they book appts too close together and then have one emergency or one delay in making rounds and it all goes to hell. It is possible the other person had an emergency - though perhaps not. One time I got completely forgotten at an ob/gyn office and after an hour finally got dressed and went out the door. They said OOPS - went in the wrong room. I waited 3 hours on my orthopedic surgeon one time! THREE HOURS! Seriously? AND that was to see a PA! My last bariatric surgery appt was 1 hour and 45 minutes after my scheduled appt and I was the first appt of the day. Like you, I will probably see my endocrinologist for review of my tests and only follow up with surgeon once per year as required.

      Daisee68, I agree and understand that, but all I saw was that the dr. tends to choose whatever door is closest to her at the time she comes out of her office. And there is no apology. Apparently everyone is used to the dr. doing this. I don't have the time. I consider myself very lucky I have a regular doctor that has an open door policy for regular patients.

  10. Grrr, I can't stand that they allow this new person to be on her cell phone all the time, I have to keep my back to her, otherwise it will piss me off

      I totally understand ,in customer related business & of course all the younger ones get away with stuff that We would Never get away with.

      That's pretty much why I recently quit my Job after almost being there with the company for almost 11 yrs. in February oh well on to the next thing.
