So I went to my doctor today to get him to do my 2 week prior check up and sign my form, all of a sudden my blood pressure is high. I have never had high blood pressure. I was just checked 4 months ago. It's 140/90. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm moving houses, and working full time and nervous about this surgery?? So he refuses to sign my form for me and is referring me to a specialist. Apparently he thinks I am not fit for surgery. Okay, somebody please make me feel better.:faint:

Shut up...Mumsy is your Aunt? I always tell her I wished she was my Mom. Does this mean you went to Shep too? Holy accomplished family or what? Huh..small world. I won't mention that I know you to her...promise.

Yep, had to pay for the paperwork too. I think it was 60$..her nurse/receptionist is a real hag though and would never let me get away with that.

Mookie you totally crack me up:D ,And Becca no my Dr. did'nt charge me anything for filling out those forms,he seems really happy for me, he has been working with my weight issues for years,and been totally supportive all the way.

Hey Becca my Dr. didn't charge me for the forms and she also took my blood so I would not have to go to the Lab. Phew saved me a trip there. Anyway she was great but I have to admit I thought that I was going to get charged because I noticed that she has charges for people that come in for physicals for their work, sports teams, etc. I guess her thought is that surgery (no matter if is cosmetic or not) is still surgery so why charge.

Anyway your Dr. sounds like he/she needs an attitude adjustment.

I agree 100%; an attitude adjustment right up the ASS!:huytsao

Sorry I've disappeared for a bit, trying to settle into our new house, wow, it's alot of work moving. So I went back to the doc first thing that next morning to get my bp re-measured, and guess what, it was fine. But the asshole that he is is still making me go to a specialist before he signs the forms!!! God I wish I had another doc. I will definately start looking for a new one once this settles down. But those of you from Alberta know what looking for a decent doc is like. Anyhoo, the disgustin opti-fast has started and because I don't have my fridge here yet I haven't been able to blend with ice and it is absolutely disgusting!

Those of us from Canada know what it's like to find a decent doc! I'd settle for having one, period. No, actually I wouldn't. I'd rather have a new doctor every time I go to a clinic than a horrible one EVERY time!

But welcome back, congrats on the new place

Becca, having a shitty doc sucks.

Oh, and poor you, opti-fast and no ice or blender, yuck!!!!

Only 9 more days Becca, hold tight, you can do it !

Hold on Becca and think of the rewards - and the look on the Docs face when you're a winner at LOSING (yep Weight wise if you get my drift)

Enjoy the little triumphs and hope you get your fridge soon so you can add some crushed ice.
