Pleasant surprise



Recommended Posts

I had an interesting day yesterday with some confusion by the office staff at my doctors office. Needed to go in for a slight "unfill". They called me right before one and asked me to be there at one (40 minute drive). Then they called at 3 to get me in at 3:45 when the doctor was to be back in the office from surgery. Well I made the trip and when I got there was told he had just gone into surgery at 3:30, another missed communication. Won't go on with the blow by blow, but at 5:30 I finally saw the doctor. The doctor took full blame and aplogized, I had another place for the blame.

At anyrate I get home today from work and I have flowers that have been sent by the doctors office with a note of aplogy. I have never in my entire life ever seen a doctor care one way or the other if the patients are inconvienced. I'm very impressed.

wow, That IS amazing.. as I was reading I was thinking " thats the breaks..it happens" and then they appologize in that way.. wow!

my fill doctor is also the nicest person I think I have ever met~

I went in today.. I called her around two and she said come when I can.. even though she had a full day .. it was also for a slight unfill..

and I was so sorry for that ya know and she said I was to come ANYTIME.. and NEVER worry about it.. (these unfills are only 25$!)

Salvaging the band is her first priority.... AND THATS SO ADMIRABLE

I love her

Wow, that is awesome. I've NEVER heard of a doctor doing that. How totally sweet that was of him......Lucky you to have such a wonderful doctor. I have a great doctor too, but he'd never send flowers. LOL

That's so amazing, ecspecially when you're ALREADY his patient and chances are you don't have a ton of other options besides to go to this particular doctor for fills. In a world where human kindness and compassion is dwindling, it's so great to hear these kinds of stories. Thanks for sharing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
