I am ticked



Recommended Posts

I just heard a rumor about a local leader of a very popluar band support meeting in KC..... I am very ticked off as this is the woman who for me WAS the REASON I chose my doc in the first place. I think it is really crappy business practice and I'm seriously considering taking my band fills elsewhere.

It is true I don't know the entire circumstance, but I really don't care. I myself feel betrayed and like I've lost MY support... the meeting is tomorrow and I had planned on going.. now.. I will have a hard time walking through their doors and an even harder time recommending her former employer to other prebandsters......

I will not put any particulars out on the main boards.

I just PM'd you Jonathon

Tracy, that's wise, because you never know who might be lurking. I don't know where you are for sure, but if you're close to Topeka, you might consider calling Tallgrass to see if they'll take on other surgeon's patients for fills and such. I have contact information if anyone needs/wants it.

Tracy,

I would very much be interested in what happened too as I know that I had my surgery done by the same surgeon as you. I have seen you on his website and talk about him. If you could send me a private message that would be great. I am just wanting to know if it is something that will affect me also. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Tracy,

What happened? You and I have the same Doctor but I haven't been to the support group meeting in quite awhile. I know there have been several office personnel changes and I'm aware of the new location but I'm concerned because you have always seemed so happy with him.

Please PM me and let me know what's going on. Thanks.

Sharon

Ok... I vented .... I'm over it..... I have to say that I have no problem whatsoever with my surgeon or his office. He is very skilled.......everything good still holds true.... since posting.. I've had emails from a hellofalot of people including staff at said office........ anyway........ those newbies going in have nothing to fear or fret about... and all of the oldies already know the deal..... I tend to be very pasionate about my band and those who've INSPIRED ME along the way........ I got all momma bear on the situation.. and now thanks to the net it lives on...... :unsure:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
