Nancy, thank you for your reply.  We have had a few tests done on him and so far he hasn't tested positive for anything.  We have also met with a nutritionist who gave me no information that I didn't already know.  He is due for his annual physical again soon and I will talk to the doctor about possible failure to thrive and see if we should test again for anything.  Is there any real difference between a dietician and a nutritionist?

Congrats on posting and moving forward for your health.  I agree with the others about a new nutritionist. You are the customer and deserve to be treated as such. However, sometimes the nutritionist, as part of the WLS "team", can indeed put a stop on you moving forward. I'd advise asking the program director for another nutritionist with whom you can feel more connected.  I'd advise being careful as to how you word your request and try to be diplomatic.  I had my WLS delayed for 6 months b/c the "team" felt I needed weekly therapy. It was very depressing since the social worker/psych eval cleared me to go through. 

Fire her.  Quickly.

If you are part of a multidisciplinary program, see if there is another dietitian/nutritionist you can work with, and report her behavior to the program.  It may just be a personality clash, or she may be treating others the same.

Nevertheless, don't take mistreatment from anyone, no matter how badly you want the surgery.

 Teeth are made up of enamel and dentin.If we are eating the ice then we are putting a great deal of pressure on our teeth and it is bad for enamel, which can cause cracks or chips. When the enamel is chipped and dentin is exposed,  teeth will weaken and experience sensitivity.And it bad for the germs.I read some articles from the best custom essays about the eating ice and teeth ,if you have interest read it.
