She could eat a big mac with no problem. She had to put herself on

a diet so she could continue to lose.

YUP, I can do this too no problem......when I told my surgeon this she just

said " well, I don't want you to do that, just stop " .........well gee, why

didn't I think of that years ago.......... P.

Stop, isn't that the big red sign at the end of the block? Seriously

though, I sometimes wonder about these surgeons. I wish they would

" stop " and think about what they are saying.

About a year after my original surgery, the same thing happened with me. I

could eat huge amounts of food. I didn't do anything about it until I had

reflux and heartburn and constant nausea. I had lost 100 lbs, but I needed to

lose about 70 more (I had also regained 30 lbs.) I probably would have just let

it go at that. The only reason I had the revision was because of the pain and

nausea (in 2001). Boy, am I glad I did. I lost the rest of the weight and I am

thinner than I could have ever imagined. Life is so much better at 130.

That will make her famous.

How can she do a 5 year study without bloodwork to confirm her findings?

This is a faulty study. I rarely say this, but what a Jerk she is if she

thinks her findings will be valid. My 2 cents.

Now if I were you I would find a decent PCP interested in your well being.

Me too Fay..........it is so disenheartening for me to finally have to admit

that I didn't pick the best surgeon! There have been other comments that

have bothered me EVEN more like the time I asked her why we don't have to

have any post-op blood work done.......she replied that she doesn't do it

unless a problem arises.......But then in some aspects she blows me away.

She is doing a 5 year study of her WLS patients.......starting BEFORE

surgery and then following them for 5 years....it is very extensive. I have

about 15 pages with several hundred questions to fill out, then phone

consults. I am getting paid, but I would have done it even if I wasn't. Oh

well, my PCP sucks with the whole thing.....not sure what to do other than

what I am already doing.......keep up with it myself........ P.

OOps.....guess I should have specified. It isn't a " medical " research..it is

physiological, behavioral. It is broken up into several sections:

Physical Function

Self-esteem

Sexual Life

Public Distress

Work

Covers EVERYTHING that we could possible think about our lives post-op. I guess

she figures that she gets all the other info in our office visits.......except

blood work of course Forgot to mention that I went to a support group the

other night for a new PS in the area.......my doc is in the same " network " as

this new guy......the head person of the entire " Weight Management Network " for

all the Pittsburgh hospitals was there......she mentioned how imperative it was

that we get our blood done every six months....this woman is my doc's

boss.......came real close to " squealing " on my doc but figured I would give her

one last chance when I see her at the end of this month!!!! P.
