Guest guest Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 BJ....it's always fun to meet members. My fingers are still crossed for a buyer! MamaSher; 70, IPF 3-06, OR. NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there! More weirdness from my doctors Beth, Sher or whoever I have a serious concern about my GI doc. It didn't really hit me until today what he said yesterday. When he was telling me about the surgery and the surgeon he told me if I wanted the surgery not to mention my bowel problems, weight loss or the fact I have trouble eating. He also said "it would probably best if you didn't mention that you are anti-depressants. I was under the impression that you were supposed to tell your surgeon everything especially any meds you take but maybe since they might do it under twilight sleep it doesn't matter. Anyway the GI doc doesn't think the surgeon will operate if he knows I have been really sick with my intestines for the past 13 weeks and have lost over 45 pounds in that time. Does any of this sound right to you? I have always trusted Dr. Craig but after yesterday I am having serious doubts. When I told him about not being able to have regular bowel movements he said "cause you don't eat. Eat then you'll then your bowels will move." When I told him how sick and in pain I get when I eat.... HE SHRUGGED! "One thing at a time. Let's get your lungs taken care of then if you still have a problem come back and we will talk about it then." WHAT!!!!!! Feed back from whoever please and yes I can sure pick 'em when it comes to doctors. Sunny PF'09, CAN '09 AND ect... Idaho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
