mi75 1,235 Posted September 14, 2016 Meeting me new team tomorrow and excited to see what they can offer me to start working this regain back off. Obviously I'm in for some serious work, which I'm willing to do. BUT I really want to get specific direction from the Nut and the doc both. I generally can do EXACTLY as i'm told IF i'm given a specific path/plan. it's just my personality. While I'm completely humiliated to meet this man and admit to my gain, i'm also relieved that there is going to be some light in sight. Wish me luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted September 14, 2016 If you like, I'm wishing you luck. I understand that you're feeling humiliated, but it's uncalled for. The surgeons, NPs, RDs and all the other staff members have seen and heard it all. They won't judge and they'll be happy to work with you toward your success. Your determination is obvious. You don't need luck. You have your power. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christinamo7 4,042 Posted September 14, 2016 I know if they are like other doctors, no reason to feel humiliation or embarrassment. Doctors have seen it all. As long as you are continuing to fight this disease called obesity you are a success and not a failure - you just need direction and help with the next steps. you are paying them to look after you. I hope you will come back and tell us how it goes. I find NUTS to be hit or miss in their helpfulness. wishing you all the best with yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mi75 1,235 Posted September 14, 2016 Well, i had my appt. i was a bit disappointed. since this surgeon doesn't really know me, or my history at all, he did tell me that i may benefit from an appetite suppressant. i'm not all that interested in diet pills. Then the nut couldn't see me after all, so i'm supposed to go back. but i've decided to go back to my original surgeon and nut for at least some guidance (and they know my entire case). all i really need is a kick in the pants and a specific plan on WHAT to do. i think i have a pretty good idea, i've been through it once! appt in 10 days.

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted September 14, 2016 decided to go back to my original surgeon and nut for at least some guidance (and they know my entire case).. @@mi75 i think this is a good plan to go back to original medical team you are obviously a smartie pants!!!! LOL i saw your earlier post, i don't remember why you had to change doc/NUT? the new doc didn't thrill you suggested pills you rather not take NUT had to postpone your meeting these are small red flags IMO not necessary or good for you to feel humiliated 10 days - can you try and do liquids again for a jump start? - 3, 6, 8, 10 days!!! a few days anyway would be great you know what to do you are a success, even if you gained a few lbs i just put my sun glasses on i see that light at the end of the tunnel it's shining brightly for you!!! you can do this i'm giving you a long distance kick in the arse hugggggs too!! good luck bud kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WLSResources/ClothingExch 3,444 Posted September 15, 2016 @@mi75, I suppose I thought you'd moved, hence the new practice. Now it seems you haven't moved. Why were you planning to switch practices? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
