Ooooh Jac...that's infuriating. I think you are getting angry, and the anger

will cause you to act. I think it is high time! Do it!

My doctor is a legend in his own mind. And he doesn't just treat ME that

way, he treats my hubby that way too (Hubby tore up his elbow 2 months ago,

that the good doctor perscirbed ibuprofen for. That's it. He goes back

tomorrow, because he can't pick up a cup of coffee) . NOBODY knows as much

as he does about ANYTHING. I hate him, and I hate Pacificare. For $300 a

month, we pay them to treat us like idiots. I NEED a revision. I KNOW I need

a revision. I've needed it for several years. I've lost all my teeth and

have dentures. TWICE now, I've had upper GI, lower GI, and endo and colon

scopes. And a boatload of medications that don't work, because THEY DON'T

TREAT THE PROBLEM. Last week, I had a FREE consultation with the assisting

surgeon for my WLS. He told me exactly what was wrong with mine, drew me a

picture, and how to fix it. And he told me to have my doctor call him to

discuss it. He can't treat me. He knew that when he talked to me. He's not

on my HMO. MY (HMO) doctors won't even discuss it. With me or with him.

Yesterday, I threw up three times. Not a bite of food in my stomach all day.

Today, I've had less than 1 ounce of cheese, and it about bit me. Nothing

else. I'm at a point that I intend to call Pacificare tomorrow and tell them

we can settle my bills in court, and they can discuss it with my attorney.

Can you tell I'm angry, sick, and tired?

Why do they all think we're too stupid to know what we're talking about?

- That doctor of yours sounds like a real jerk. He obviously is not

a supporter of WLS, and will not treat you now because it's all your fault

for having the surgery in the first place. I'm glad to hear you are feeling

better after being on the Niferex. Keep doing what you gotta do to feel

better. And find a new PCP! Take care.
