As if I wasnt already feeling crappy...
:tired So now I get a call from my PCP and find out that I am H Pylori positive... I am thinking to myself... What.. what the hell is that and why do I have it!! :cry Well from my research, its a bateria in the stomach and it can cause gastritis and ulcers... Great. Now what does this mean for surgery. Well after going back and forth between the surgeon and my PCP, I find that I need to get on anti-biotics for the next two weeks. Then they will retest me in another two weeks... HOLD IT:omg: I have surgery in 3 weeks so now what. Well my surgeron office says that its cool, that some people are even on the meds when they go to surgery... well for me, I want on them ASAP. I heard they were some big azz pills and I dont want to be trying to figure out how to take them once I've been banded...
Oh so my PCP says that he wants to see me first before he prescribes the meds... what the heck. He just saw me and he has to see me again before surgery for clearance so whats the big friggen deal. Just write the darn perscription so I can be on my merry way... Well thank goodness my Surgeons office said they would write it. But they wanted me to call my PCP to let him know so that I am not stepping on anyones toes... HELLOOOOO. this is my damn body, I am the one who has to take the darn meds, get the dang on band and deal with the dreaded INS people, so I dont really give a rats azz if I am stepping on toes... If it were not for my persistance, I would probably still be hung up on why my ins hadnt approved me yet (GEEZ, THATS A WHOLE NOTHER STORY :faint: )
Well anyways, after all that drama... I will be taking my meds starting today and am still on schedule to have my band.
