What is wrong with my PCP?

Mar 21, 2009

Well its been alittle over six months since my surgery and I am at 176 pounds and in about a size 12. Though I am still feeling like I look horrible. I dont know if it is normal, but I look in the mirror and still see myself at 270 pounds. I honestly can say I dont see the change like other people see it in me. I still have not seen my surgeon since September. My PCP is starting to really annoy me, sending me to all of these specialists that want to do unnecessary surgeries on my brain, etc. I am really getting annoyed. I had pseudotumor cerebrai, that is a weight related condition, so Dr Juarez did the garstric bypass surgery to stop the pseudo tumor cerebrai. Well, my PCP is so obsessed that the pseudotumor is still there, he sends me to a neurologists that now wants me to go in for two brain surgeries. I am disgusted because neither one of them even have checked to see if the pseudotumor is even there, and plus isnt that what I had surgery for? I probably am not making much sense to anyone who reads this, I am just frustrated because now they are saying I have ESS which came along with the pseudotumor cerebrai, which affects my pituatary gland function. Who knows. One thing I do know is that if I still had pseudotumor cerebrai and increased cerebral fluid the same MRI that showed the ESS would have showed the increased cerebral fluid and it clearly stated that it did not see any increase, so why are these doctors trying toput me through more un necessary trauma? I think its time for me to find a new PCP. Well anyways, enough of my venting, I just wanted to check in and let you all know where I am at in my journey, and let you all know I am thinking of you all today
