VERY frustrated at my doctor!!!



Recommended Posts

Yeah, try to switch doctors. Like someone once said, remember that half of all doctors finished in the bottom half of their class!!

Sam...this reminds me of an old joke that nurses tell each other. Know what they call the doc who finished dead last in every class in medical school? Doctor.

Enough said. I am married to a physician and work with them so I know they can be brilliant and compassionate but every profession has it's duds and medicine is no exception. (or nursing!! ):P

FatBetty.... I have BCBS-Fed and I'm in California. Where exactly do you live? I am going to a WLS center in Northridge who are a Center of Excellence and ONLY work with weight loss surgery patients! They are super friendly, very professional, and do all the work for you! I will be completing my 3 month supervised diet program next Monday and then they will submit paperwork to my insurance THAT day!!! This place is a one stop shop!! Nutritionist is there on site too!!

I originally went to another doctor in Burbank who was very awful (his staff) and they never returned phone calls or anything! They never even called me to tell me I needed a 3 month diet!! That's when I got so fed up and called my insurance company and they actually recommended the doctor I'm seeing now.

Please dont give up!! Make sure you switch doctors and get that 3 month process started immediately!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
