Well, WAS going to have surgery Thursday.



Recommended Posts

Sorry it's a bit long. I just need to vent :(

I was going to have surgery on Thursday and I got my blood test with some weird readings. My new pcp opens up with "I'm going to ruin your day" uh grrrr. Then proceeds to tell me that my blood test could mean CANCER and he won't approve me. My abnormal tests can be a lot of things (infections , even stress) from what I've researched.

After dropping the cancer bomb Tuesday he told me to call him to remind him to send my surgeon the test and to read it.

So I called when he told me and the receptionists shut me down and told me "well, we can't help you, the doctor is busy" So my husband calls and they supposedly agreed to leave the doctor a message message to fax my gastric surgeon. It's almost 24 hours after that and nothing .

I've been stressing out about cancer and leaving my family. All because this guy just couldn't say "hey we are going to re test you " sigh In a way it's good to find out be what's going on with me but the delivery was horrible. :( :*(

I’m so sorry that you are dealing with this. How stressful. [emoji25]. Have you thought about changing pcps (again) I don’t what kind of doctor says I’m going to ruin your day, drop a bomb on you and then leave you hanging. It’s your right to get a second opinion. I hope everything turns out ok 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

What a complete douchebag! Not only is that rude but I'm sure there some unwritten law against this somewhere. I would change my tone with your pcps office and report him to his board! I'm so sorry you're going through this and I hope you find a good replacement soon!

Thank you. I just have my test results from 10 days before this last one. The newest one he hasn't released to me at all yet. Also, he didn't tell me how far they were off as well. He just got me a referral to a hematologist.

hmmm. I'm sorry you're dealing with such a stressful situation, especially w/out the specifics in hand.

Certainly if your bloods are super deranged its a major priority to deal with that.

I expect if its something very serious you will get a call from hematology very very soon.

Thanks, if it was handled better I would have been a different situation for me for sure. Thanks for talking to me. I'm going to try and get this handled asap.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
