She's so not nice...



Recommended Posts

I really need to go back to the doctor but they don't let you see the doctor (sugeon) you only get to see his PA who is not nice. And NO I don't expect to be babied, I am an adult and can accept the consequences of my actions... BUT I also don't appreciate that snarling attitude, you know the one some medical professionals have... You're a fat slob with no self control"

So, here I am procrastinating and not calling and really wanting help but not wanting to suck it up and make an appointment with the MEAN Lady who has no sympathy for FAT people.

All I am really asking for is support. Yeah, I've likely screwed up, but I have also lost 120 lbs! We all stumble sometimes. I just want to be able to go in and say, hey, what can we do about this and let's do it. I will try to follow the rules better if you will be NICE to me!

I really feel like they put the band in and said there ya go! Have a nice day.

Anyway... Tomorrow I am going to suck it up and call. I am going to try really hard to get the see the doctor.

Thanks for letting me vent!

OMG 120 pounds??? You go!!! That is something to be VERY proud of and obviously you have been doing something right! You don't have to put up with that negative attitude from ANYONE. Call the office and tell them you would like to make an appointment with anyone but ( Person's name here) Let it be known that her bed side manner leaves much to be desired! Why should you put off YOUR health and well being because you don't want to subject yourself to someone else's rudeness? ( someone that YOU pay btw) I bet if you speak up you will find you are not the only person who has been treated this way :thumbup: Good-luck to you! :)

I am sorry you are being treated badly.

I know it can be very hard, but I always try to talk with someone who I feel is treating me badly or might have a problem with me. I tell my kids too, someone can't fix something if they don't know there is a problem.

When I do address something, I try to use tactics that will hopefully not put them on the defensive. I might say something like, "I am sorry if I have done something to hurt you" or "It seems like we may have gotten off on the wrong foot" - to start out the conversation.

It might take the edge off and make it easier to address the concerns you have with how you are being treated. (But again, I do think we have the responsibility to try to let someone know how we are feeling before we go to another party.)

If that doesn't work, you should certainly address your concerns with the doctor and office. I have written a letter to a doctor in the past. You know they are a caring staff when they get back to you personally to address your concerns.

Good luck!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
