AmyCWalt 0 Posted December 7, 2019 First off, Im so sorry youre having such a hard time!! Im waiting for approval for my surgery currently and everything you have written about are all things that scare me! I cannot say I understand how you are feeling because I don't yet, but I know you can do it! You've gotten so far already. Also, it totally caught my eye that you had surgery by Dr. Machado....that's who I am having surgery with as well. Its been a long road for me, I have been seeing her since April.

Machado patient! I have to say I’m a little disappointed with her and the office right now but I’m sure the results vary. My surgery went well. I have been having trouble with drinking Water without it hurting for a bit and telling the office only resulted in them telling me to drink smaller sips. That did not help. Also, the appointment issue is a big deal for me. I now have a phone visit scheduled but they took it out on me, saying that I really have to follow up and I should know that. No kidding! That’s exactly what I was trying to do when I took the day off from work to come in for my scheduled appointment! It’s just frustrating, and then to get told to stay on purées “because people aren’t learning “. Excuse me, but I have followed everything to a T, and they would have known that if I had been able to come in for my appointment. Every day, I make it to 60-80 grams Protein and the 64 ounces of Fluid. Even if I have to force myself, I do it because I know the consequences. It’s just so infuriating to be lumped in with anyone who might not be doing as well only because they couldn’t get me in for the appointment I had scheduled.
