No fill for you...err, I mean me.

My fill appointment was a complete and total waste of time...and money!

I was seen by a new (not so nice) nurse. Based on the tightness I have in the morning she wouldn't give me a fill. What!?! Bummer.

The results from my labs that I had taken on Monday hadn't arrived at their office, so I had no reason to even show up. The lab results were faxed over as I was walking out of my appointment, which I was still charged for.

She said she would 'review my labs after she gets back from lunch and then will call in any prescriptions I may need.'

Turns out my levels are super low on just about everything...except protein!

I have got to get my butt in gear and get back on all my supplements on a regular basis.

Dreaded Dr. appt

My fill appointment is tomorrow afternoon and I am super nervous.

I've been putting the visit off for some time because I am not in the shape/at the weight I wanted to be in when my Doc saw me next.

I really don't want to see his face when the number on the scale doesn't read too far from the number it was on my last visit.

I'll have to dress in something really slimming tomorrow. ☺

Take 3 or 4 big gulps...

This morning I had my 1 year post-op (a little late!) labs and upper GI swallow done in preparation for my check up/fill appointment this Friday

Now really, is there anything that tastes worse than that barium gunk they make you drink for the x-ray!?! I was seriously struggling to keep from gagging the stuff back up!

The radiologist said that my stoma was so small he was curious as to how I was able to handle solids. This surprised me! I scheduled a fill because I thought I was too loose.

Now I am unsure of if I want to keep my fill appointment or not. Normally I wouldn't cancel it, but my Doc charges $200 an appointment and I don't want to go if I have no reason to be seen. I'll marinate on it for a day or so before I decide...

Feel like I need a fill

I've known that I've needed a fill for quite some time, but I've been putting off getting it.

I haven't been losing at the rate I thought I should be and I was embarrassed to go back to my doctor without dropping some more weight. Absolutely silly, I know, but that's what has been holding me back.

I finally decided that I had to get over my ego or whatever and I called to make a fill appointment. My fill doctor services two hospitals, and the one that I go to, he is only there every other Friday. This means that I can't get in for a fill until October 9th!

Part of this makes me upset that I have to wait so long, and this isn't the set up they presented me with when in talks with whether or not to have my surgery through them, but on the other hand...it does give me some extra time to slim down so that I won't feel like such a loser (or not loser, actually!) when I go in.

Off to walk to the dog...uphill!
