It's been six weeks since my I had my Bi-pass surgery. Forty two pounds are gone I have at least another hundred and twenty to go. Some people think this is the easy way out. Let me tell you there is nothing easy about this process. I started in February with consults, blood work, testing - cat scans,upper gi's, all the pre-op work. Not only that but some of the consults I had to go to were brutal. The doctors were not helpful, it almost seemed as though they didn't want to do any work. They get paid and what do I get? A big attitude, all I was asking was they re-word their letter so the insurance company would pay for the operation.
Getting some of the testwork ordered was another loooooooooooooooooong, process, nothing like playing twenty questions with your primary care physician. What the heck, all I am requesting is some blood work not so life altering drug, will you please work with me here. It is not just the process it is also the new way you have to eat. Say goodbye to the normal portions your used to and hello to 1-2 oz. of food at a time, which you have to eat slowly in half an hour? How exactly do you accomplish something like this? Count your bites? No it is not an easy process but hey it is worth it, I feel a little better every day! Thanks for reading my rant!
