I'm ranting...... sad and overwhelmed......

Hey gang

Beside bariartic surgery I also need my hip replaced.  In June 2015 The surgoen who saw me for 7 months ( November 2014)  telling me he could do my hip, "your fat is all out front I can feel your hip bone i can do this ", desided he did not want to becasue of my weight one week prior to surgery He said and i quote," he had talked to all of his surgeon buddies and they would not touch me".

Then I was sent to a Toronto specialist who said he could do it but was unhappy I was sent to him becuase I am not medically complicated enough, just obese. He said it would take a year. He suggested I loose weight.That was in June. I called them yesterday and today they say they have had cuts , and to call back in the fall.

In January, in consultation with my local GP we desided to refer me to another surgeon in town. I've been waiting to hear from him so I called him today. He told his receptionist to put me off for a year based on a note from the first local sugeon ( based on a note) That note said not to do surgery until I have bariatric surgery.Without seeing me, without responding to my GP.

In June when the hip was not being replaced my work had no choice but to put me off on disability.They are holding my job but they can't forever nor will disability last for ever.

I've already lost 59 pounds since that first surgeon but this surgeon wont see me because of the first surgeon . If he waits for a year , my entrie life will be gone.

I feel like I've been thrown out like garbage.
