So Bummed and feel like the fat pig!!!!

 I have been having some pain in my upper tummy, right below my breasts.  I went to Dr. to make sure nothing was going on.  He scolded me and made me feel like I was an idiot and fat pig like I was stuffing my face and that was why I hurt there.  He is setting me up for a swallow test for ****s in giggles basically according to him although he didn't say that and then he said if it comes back normal like he thinks then the pain is my fault and I will gain my weight back if I don't follow his plan.  I told him sometimes I burn you know heartburn and he said I am over eating and that's why I am burning, really??????  I had wicked heartburn before surgery and now it comes and goes definitely not as bad as before and I just wanted to know if I could take something.  I also asked if taking something would help with the hunger I feel cause sometimes it can be mistaking for it as I read here but he said no thats all wrong I'm overeating and I'm going to ruin my sleeve.  Ok as for what I am eating it's 2 oz. at a time.  He said I should barely be able to get in 1.5 oz.  He said the burn I feel is the food sitting in my throat and that I am overeating.  I eat crab, chicken, shrimp, tuna, etc basically soft meats and maybe a protein bar(quest bars are awesome) only half at a time for me.  I don't drink with my meals I thought I was doing everything right and when I see my NUT she thinks I'm doing great.  He made me make another appt. with my NUT to learn how to eat but as far as I can see I'm not doing anything wrong.  Please correct me if I am wrong.  I just wanted to know why I have pain in my tummy and it's there all the time sometimes not as sore as other times.  I feel so mad, upset, defeated, shot down and when I left the office I just wanted to cry.  I want to be successful at this.  I just don't think having pain is normal and treating your patient like they are a moron and like you are tired of seeing them in the office is messed up.  He keeps repeating we go over this every time blah blah blah and if you don't listen you will gain your weight back.  I am listening.  He was nice but stern and a straight talker before this appt. but damn I don't think I deserved the way I was treated this last office visit and it really upsets me.  Ok I'll shut up now.  Thanks for listening.

wow he sounds like a jerk. To me it sounds like you eat about like I do, and I am 3 weeks after you!! Ugh......that annoys me FOR you.

Thank you.  He made me feel like I was doing it all wrong.  I'm not sitting here drinking coke or eating a whole bag of potato chips like before.  I'm eating 2 oz at a sitting instead of 1.5.  Also my NUT had said last time I saw her I could eat 1.5 to 2 oz of protein and then another 1 oz of vegetables but I never have room for the vegetables.  Geesh.  Kerry 

Sorry, but he sounds like a complete douchebag. Why can't you take a PPI for the refulx? No wonder you're effin hurting, it's causing swelling and probably causing your fricken esophagus to spasm.

This is just my opinion, BUT, I'd go to my PCM and get a PPI RX or at a bare minimum hit WalMArt for some fricken generic Prilosec or Prevacid and get some relief.

That's absolutely ridiculous the way he spoke to you, and you should NOT be in pain. The hunger could be from the acid too.

You are doing everything right from what you've shared here, and I would NOT be NOT taking something for the reflux. I'd hit the Gaviscon for immediate relief, start some Prilosec and see how you feel in a week to 10 days. Bottom line, he sounds like he has A) horrific bedside manner or B) He's just an ass who is NOT listening to your valid concerns.  Or a combination of both, I don't know, but I wouldn't be hurting and blaming it on overeating when you know you're NOT.

 Thank you. :) I have protonics from before surgery but I wasn't sure if that would be good to take.  I need to get me something and see if that helps.  When I made this last appt. I tried to see his partner instead of him and the office wouldn't let me They said because he did my surgery I had to see him.  I don't feel like he is listening to me and it sucks.  Not like I want anything to be wrong but of course he would feel validated if my swallow test comes back normal which I hope it does I just wanted an explanation for the pain.  Thank goodness I am not an emotional eater or I could be stuffing my face with chips and icecream right now lol I am sitting here sipping my water.  I always feel odd at the support groups when they talk about emotional eating cause I never had that problem it was the sheer volume of food I ate at 1 sitting and the bad type of food that was my downfall.  Oh well off topic, sometimes I ramble lol. I see you don't have much longer, congratssssssss bet your excited.  Take care, Kerry      

I wasn't nor am I an emotional eater either so I understand you there too. I'd take the damn protonix and see if you get some relief. You're gonna do great, just don't let him get you down. You've got this, and you deserve to feel good.

It sucks he treated you like that....I think your doing great according to your stats- keep it up~I had some "heartburn"after,but it turned out i was just hungry...I hope all goes well,best of luck!

 Thank you. It's great to see such great support up here when sometimes you cna't find that close to you.  Kerry

I'm certainly no doctor, but I wish your doc would take you seriously and would have suggested you have an ultrasound to check for gall bladder issues.  My gall bladder pain was not on the right side exclusively, but rather more centered under my breasts.  It sure sounds a lot like your pain could be the same problem. 

Good luck and wishing you well. 

 Thank you.  Well I def. know my pain is not gallbladder, they took that from me when I was 15 years old lol  I had a major attack and I was told my gallbladder was full of stones so I haven't had to worry bout that.  Just want to know nothing is wrong I hope the pain is from the acid and nothing else.  I would like to feel validated if something was wrong like see but I don't want any issues so hoping for best even if he's the one thats ends up feeling validated and I stress feeling cause he still is not right. Hubby said after we left office and I told him how I felt that he wanted to punch him in face, good thing he didn't lol Kerry
