I'm so upset right now that i'm on and off crying. I've been telling my surgeon's team that something isn't right and i'm having a hard time breathing. Their response was to walk more. I finally had enough when I throw up due to walking that I told them to do additional testing or refer me to someone else. They did some CT scans and noticed I had an infection in my left lung. If they listened to me sooner I would be feeling better by now instead of barely getting by. The surgical team also refused me half days at work because they believed I was fine. I'm now getting more half days at work because of this. My surgeon is great but his team.... ughhh. Sorry, rant over. Just so upset.

I wish the medical profession would stop caring for people by the bell curve. We are not all in the middle. I am glad you kept insisting on help and hope for a speedy recovery for you.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad I fought for my health too. If I waited any longer than I already have who knows how bad the infection would be.

You always have to be your own advocate especially when u are overweight and a woman. However u would thing practices that specialize in big people would be a little less dismissive. 😔

I hope you are feeling better soon.

I hope you feel better soon. I worked in the health care field for over 15 yrs. the one thing everyone needs to do is be a strong self advocate . A lot of the time your doctor hasn’t even seen the call notes because the nurse takes care of them. It is scary how many times the wrong advice is given to a patient. Feel better

Thank you. I hope I feel better soon too. If there is one thing I learned it's that I know my body and if I feel like something isn't right, I'm going to push for it to get looked into. Sad it took so much effort to get it done though.

      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.
