My appt with surgeon today

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I decided today that  I dont need a local doc.. especially one  that tells me

I am being non compliant due to my not feeling comfortable taking medications

that can cause me a gastric bleed.. such as vioxx.. even short term.. I had a

marginal ulcer that perforated and I developed peritonitis as a result.. dont

think I want to revisit this scene ever if possible. I also dont need a

doctor that tells me because I am not in agreement with his plan.. to see the

doctor that wants me to take vioxx and pepto-bismol.. and follow his

instructions..

that I am playing Russian

Roulette with my life, but it is my life and I am an adult and can make my

own choices.. I also decided today that I dont have to see a doctor that finally

admits that I am much too complex for his abilities and he doesn t feel

qualified to take care of my needs relating to bariatric surgery. He finally

asked

me who I wanted him to refer me to.. I told him no one.. that I had some

options available to me and I would be pursuing my options.

  Anyway, I felt that the appt today was a waste of my time and energy and

his time.. Why couldnt he just tell me this weeks ago if he felt that he couldnt

deal with my problems safely? Oh well, I guess docs dont like to admit they 

are human and get stumped sometimes.

Take care

Peachy hugs,
