I recently went to the doctor (after being sick for like 2 months even though I had finished the prescription he gave me earlier) and it feels like both my doctor and his staff are nicer to me since they found out about my surgery. I knew my doc had a bias against heavier people (one of those oh something is wrong? Its cus youre fat! guys) but now he seems kinda proud its weird. He even lectured me after my mom called me out for not getting in enough calories since she found out i went a few days eating less than 300 calories a day (im working on it). Im only down like 40 lbs but im starting to feel the difference in the way im treated. Weird

Side note being lectured on getting more calories in was surreal! Felt like I was some anorexic chick refusing to eat or something. Lol its not that im refusing to eat its just hard to get the calories but im trying.

K weird ranting post over :)

haha This is so funny because I went to see my PA for my annual physical and in the past I may have called her some names that weren't very nice!? She was so nice to me now that I quit smoking and had surgery! She seemed very impressed with the changes...it might be a little frustrating to see a 300 plus pound smoker for breathing problems on a regular basis? lol Anyway, I am giving her another chance now and I am also feeling way better about myself! :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
