Divine intervention or a nurse who doesn't listen???
Ok, so I met with my NP who said the magic words...gastric bypass...to which I replied...bite me...then she said your left ventricle of your heart is hardening, you are pre diabetic, you have fibromyalgia, you have PCOD, you are not going to get better if you stay MORBIDLY OBESE...to which I responded...ok, i will think about it...So i did, I met with the MD who I adore, and she said do you want it? I said yes, I want the surgery, but I don't want the band, she said ok, I said I want Dr. Kim at Upstate, She said Ok, I said thank you for helping me, she said we need to do this ASAP, and that once I have it I am off the Beta Blockers, the Metformin, The Topamax, THe effexor, The EVERYTHING..., then I get a call, I am set up to see Dr. Graber in New Hartford July 3...that is not Dr. Kim...That is not Upstate...but doesn't Dr. know best? Now what?

I wanted to go to New Hartford to have my surgery done and not Syracuse. I felt like when I called the Syracuse doctors it was more like a number and not a patient. Dr. Graber and Dr. Fitzer are REALLY good doctors. I'm glad I went to them and eventhough it's a longer drive to see them I'm really pleased with the outcome so far.

Hi there, Thanks for the add. I read this and my first thought was to tell you it is probably for the best that you didn't get Dr. Kim. I get here and see that someone else said it exactly how I was going to. You feel like a number there. I made an entry on my page early April when I went into see Dr. Kim. I really felt like a number, there was nothing at all personal at all about it. No doubt they have a great program. I just wanted to feel like the doctor would at least reconginze me at my next appointment rather than just a number on a chart.
