the nerve of some nurses



Recommended Posts

So I finally got the message to my doctor to put me back in the bariatric program. When the nurse called she was completly out of line and trying to talk me out of the surgery. Out of the blue the woman went off..... I was in tears. I work in the medical field as well and that was uncalled for. I am too scared to complain since she is my pcm's nurse. My choices are non of her business!!!! Bet that b***h is skinny LOL Mad needed to vent.

She's actually out of line and potentially going against hospital policy to go off on you like that. You really should consider filing a formal complaint about it. It's that kind of bullying that causes people to second guess themselves and make poor decisions.

So glad I saw this thread tonight because today at pretesting, my Doctors nurse TOTALLY pissed me off!!! She was going over the clear liquid diet that I now have to start (blah!!!!) and when I asked how was I to get Protein (ya know, can I have shakes, or take a vitamin) she laughed! The B*tch actually laughed!!!!! So I was like, "honestly, there is nothing funny, and I'm genuienly concerned about my well being"..she says (in a condescending tone) "the surgeon wouldn't put you on anything that's detrimental to your health" I WAS LIVID!!!

Horrible people are everywhere...surround yourself with supportive loving people and, mostly, be kind to yourself! That nurse is surely an very unhappy person, be glad you are not her or married to her or her sister or whatever...

You should definitely file a complaint. That is uncalled for. A nurse's job is not to judge, but to inform and support in the best way possible.

      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! 😞
