Lack of knowledge about Lap-Band



Recommended Posts

I had to describe the lapband system, what it did, and why I wanted it to my PCP. He was too busy telling me about how his religion is building a new temple in Rome. I'm glad all I needed from him was a referral.

Let me put it this way:

You wouldn't ask a high school band teacher why your son/daughter is failing chemistry. You wouldn't ask a photographer why a baker is charging you so much for a wedding cake. You wouldn't ask the mailman why FedEx is taking so long with your package. You wouldn't ask the optomitrist to look at a cavitiy you think you might have. My point is this: they are all in related fields, but are specializing in something. Why would you expect something else from a Dr?

I blame House, M.D. He's an internist, surgeon, pathologist, radiologist, pediatrician, obstertician, and full time drug addict.

So, of course you'd think your doctor and pharmacist should know everything.

Hey guys.. I think she left.

Do you think some people are so randomly defensive and touchy because they are hungry? :blushing:

I know I hated everything and everyone on my pre op diet. :thumbdown:

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
