Cardio Appt.

May 21, 2009

So the doctor in Nicaragua never answered any of my questions. Since I am a woman with a mission I found another doctor.

I am glad to report that I have my finance money for the surgery. I am very excited about it. Now I am waiting for the doctor's office to contact me. YEAH!!!!

On another note I have lost some weight . I do not know if this is because I am on some new medication and its just water weight. Whatever it is I am very thankful for.

I had my cardiologist appt. yesterday and the nurse actually put her hand up when I started discussing WLS. All I wanted to know was well... (actually double check) what do you do in cases where patients take blood thinners. She said we cannot even begin to talk about that. So my question is if I cannot talk to my cardio-group about complications and alternatives who the hell do I talk to? Why the F...do I pay $200-$350 a visit when I can't even ask a question?

If I had emergency surgery and they had to take my spleen out (hopefully this will never happen) what would doctors do regarding my blood thinners? I know they would not say well she takes Plavix and Aspirin therefore we cant operate. 

This woman actually told me that WLS was an elective surgery. I wanted to smack her then leave the practice and never come back. How the hell can she tell me it is elective when I have all these issues because of my weight. Truly pissed the more I think about it. Since it is not her that has the weight, heart. diabetes, and stents put in every 3 months it is very easy to say such as dumb ass comment.

I wonder why every other doctor tells me YES do get WLS, there are great benefits and the Cardio people are like well... then to tell me the heart is the most important part in the body if that does not work then you can die. I have heart issues because of Diabetes and truth is it is not even the heart it is the left artery that is a mess. OOH am pissed, anyway I guess each doctor surgeon thinks that they specialty is the most important.
