areellady · August 11, 2008

I noticed today that my BMI is 30.9 and overweight is 29.9

I am sooooooooooooooooooo excited!!! I am going to be just overweight and not obese anymore.....YIPPEEEE...

I remember reading a post op note from a surgery I had in 2005 and the surgeon put morbidly obese.....I was appauled!!!!!!! How could anyone say that?????? I can remember crying after reading that!!!! That made me sick to my stomach that someone would think that about me, although I didn't realize it was the BMI she was referring to, it might as well of read, "This big fat lazy pig of a lady"!!! Now, I will never have to see morbidly, or even obese again!!!!!!

Excellent job! I cannot wait to be overweight! LOL! I think I'm in the "obese" category now . . . but I must admit that seeing the words "morbidly obese" about put me over the edge.

yeah, reading morbidly obese about yourselfis NOT the best way to have a good day

here's one for you . . . my primary care physician always dictates his notes into a taperecorder at the end of your appointment. So, one day he was dictating my notes while I'm sitting there waiting patiently to get my prescriptions, and he has to describe the patient first . . . (me) . . . "34 year old well nourished self-employed photographer" . . . THEN HE STOPS HIS TAPE RECORDER, BACKS UP, AND SAYS: "scratch that, 34-year-old OVERLY nourished self-employed photographer." UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was appalled.

ETA: My LB surgeon is sooooo nice he would NEVER do anything like that. At least not to my FACE! LOL!
