3 month checkup...A little vent

[Guest guest]

Ok. First of all for all the post ops...do you actually see your surgeon at

your checkups?

I had a checkup at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months. I have not seen my surgeon

none of these 3 times. All they do is weigh me, take me to a room and his

little teeny bopper I guess Assistant comes in. Ask how I am doing. Any

questions....Well every time I ask her a question she gets this deer in the head

light

look and doesnt really answer my question thoroughly. Today my question was

about light headedness. I have it EVERY day but some days worse than others. So

I

asked if this was normal with post ops...Her response was..Well I know I do

that every once in a while when my blood sugar goes low so you need to just have

something handy to you can take a bite of. well....The discussion before that

was that I am living on protein drinks. I can hardly eat any " real " food at

all without getting the tooooo full feeling or throwing up...so how is having a

bite of something gonna fix my light headedness. Also, I asked about post op

blood work..they dont do it till 6 months so I asked what i needed to have run

because I would go to my PCP and have it done now so i can stay on top of it

....she never answered that one....just bypassed it all together...At this

point i ws FUMING because here I am asking her stuff and she is dodging them

like

bullets. I do have to admit my nerves were already a little unsettled because

i had to take 2 three year olds to the visit with me so i knew if i told her

something i would lose it so i just said thats all. Thank you and walked out...

UUUGHHHHHHH what do i do? am i wrong? if so please tell me!

Thanks
