I am ticked



Recommended Posts

I just heard a rumor about a local leader of a very popluar band support meeting in KC..... I am very ticked off as this is the woman who for me WAS the REASON I chose my doc in the first place. I think it is really crappy business practice and I'm seriously considering taking my band fills elsewhere.

It is true I don't know the entire circumstance, but I really don't care. I myself feel betrayed and like I've lost MY support... the meeting is tomorrow and I had planned on going.. now.. I will have a hard time walking through their doors and an even harder time recommending her former employer to other prebandsters......

I will not put any particulars out on the main boards.

I just PM'd you Jonathon

Tracy, that's wise, because you never know who might be lurking. I don't know where you are for sure, but if you're close to Topeka, you might consider calling Tallgrass to see if they'll take on other surgeon's patients for fills and such. I have contact information if anyone needs/wants it.

Tracy,

I would very much be interested in what happened too as I know that I had my surgery done by the same surgeon as you. I have seen you on his website and talk about him. If you could send me a private message that would be great. I am just wanting to know if it is something that will affect me also. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Tracy,

What happened? You and I have the same Doctor but I haven't been to the support group meeting in quite awhile. I know there have been several office personnel changes and I'm aware of the new location but I'm concerned because you have always seemed so happy with him.

Please PM me and let me know what's going on. Thanks.

Sharon

Ok... I vented .... I'm over it..... I have to say that I have no problem whatsoever with my surgeon or his office. He is very skilled.......everything good still holds true.... since posting.. I've had emails from a hellofalot of people including staff at said office........ anyway........ those newbies going in have nothing to fear or fret about... and all of the oldies already know the deal..... I tend to be very pasionate about my band and those who've INSPIRED ME along the way........ I got all momma bear on the situation.. and now thanks to the net it lives on...... :unsure:

      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.
