I think she said she wants to see me on a regular basis, like every 6 weeks but I'm not sure that's even necessary. I guess it would be good for 'accountability' but not with her attitude, lol. I'm just going to stick it out for the one more post-op appointment with her and then hopefully I won't need her 'guidance' any longer. If I ever do feel like I need some again, I'll simply go to someone else. I think I forgot to mention she's quite young, probably my age or a little older maybe (22+) and she's probably never weighed more than a whole 125 pounds her whole life..so it is what it is

Went to my dietician appointment today, to get my new meal plan/diet pre-op and post op. I've seen this dietician before and didn't care for her then either,but this time she was unmistakably rude! When I told her I was there because I was having the 'Lap-Band' procedure in February she actually said, "Oh, so how's those candy bars working out for you huh?" I was mortified! And this was only one of many jabs she took at me! Instead of leaving feeling excited/prepared for what's to come, I felt like crap!

@Violet...the only symptoms I have out of those you talked about is the clotting really bad (it's horrible! Fist size sometimes!) my OBGYN told me the clotting is caused by my lining shedding too fast and my body not having time to break everything down..I had a D&C lady year just so they could go in and see if they cold find anything wrong. Nothing but a cyst on my right ovary and very early stage minimal endometriosis what they called 'freckles'.. Mrsmyers2010

My surgeon's nurses actually had told me they don't really care for the dieticians at their office but it was easier for me to go there because they already had my chart and history there. I think I will switch because the more I think about it the more flustered I get! I'm going to let my surgeon know for sure because i absolutely love him and his nurses and I don't want that girl to reflect on them in any way. @ icestorm (sorry I don't know to respond to one person's comments) I've had my thyroid checked several times and they always tell me it's 'normal' so idk..as far as female problems go, i have plenty of them. I supposedly don't have 'PCOS' but I do keep cysts from the size of golf balls-soft balls on my ovaries and I also do have weird hair growth (thick white hairs that grow randomly allover my body). When on birth control i stop having periods completely. When off of BC i have periods 2-3 times a month Currently I've been on a period since December 16th...my OBGYN can't figure out what to do anymore and pretty much told me he honestly thinks if i would get my weight off things would straighten themselves out.. I have a lot of health issues and pretty much every doctor automatically contributes it to my weight....so we will see soon enough!

There is one other dietician there I was thinking about switching to, but her office is literally right next to this other girls office so it might be kind of awkward. I'm suppose to see this dietician for follow up 6 weeks after surgery so I was thinking it might be too late to switch, since she's the one who gave me my instructions on what to do for surgery..

So I had wrote an earlier post about the 15% I was having to come up with to pay upfront so I was having to push my surgery all the way to March, well not anymore! I talked the hospital down to $725 upfront and the Dr. $635.89 so all in all $1370.89 which is much more doable than than the almost $3,000 before! Looks like I will be getting banded in January afterall.. so excited!

So I was officially approved for surgery by insurance today! So excited, pushing for January 18th! Mrsmyers2010
