WHY DO ALL SURGEONS ACT LIKE THEY ARE BETTER THAN REG. DOCS

Feb 05, 2012

So I been hving alot of pain in my lower stomach like alot and my parents wanted me to call my doctor to make sure i shouldnt go to the doctors because w/ my dads surgery he had some type of hernia aubstruction down near his belly button so I called his answering service and they said that I should talk with my surgeon and that they will have him call me... So he does and he all i get to get out is Im sorry for it being late(mind u its like 10:30pm) and he says ok ok sheena whats wrong so I start to explain that all weekend I have had extream pain in my lower belly area near my belly button and he says call the office in the morning and make an appt aand i repeat what he says just to make sure thats what he said and he says yes and he says dont call this number its for emergencies and hangs up!!!! NOW heres my thing how do u know that Im not die or having a big emergency... I mean he didnt ask me not a one question or anything... I just think its pretty mean of a suregron to act this way and I have NEVER had my pcp act this way when i have had to call the after hours line... I mean other than that my surgeon was great and i loved him he did a great job and up until tonight he has been great with bedside manor and then this happenes so I dont want to down him and tell people they shouldnt go to see him... I just felt like venting a lil!!! Thats all...

1 Week and 3 days post op

Feb 05, 2012

Ok well this first week was not sooo bad i guess. I am just really worried I guess cuz im able to eat more than I thought i could and Im kinda cheating :(.... I am eating crackers and I shouldnt be!!!! Like tonight for dinner I eat wheat Crackers with a lil tuna on them!!! I was able to eat 5 crackers!!! Im full I can feal Im full and I feel if i eat more I will get sick so I stopped which is a good thing but I dont think I should be eating crackers!!! I should still be on most liquids and some soft food (puraed (Spelling???) foods).... So I kinda cant wait to go see my doctor on the 8th.... I have been in alot of pain sooo I really think Im gonna call and try and see him tomorrow because im outta pain meds.. So This week Im really wanna try annd get back to eating what my doctor wants me to eat!!!! Its way to early in the game to be cheating!!!!!

BUTTTT ON A GOOD NOTE I LOSS around 23lbs since surgery!!!

NEW GOOD NEWS!!!!

Jan 13, 2012

Hello my OH Friends,

      Sheena B. here also known as time2getthin on here or you can follow my journey on youtube by finding 83sbodden. Well here we go I got a call this week from my surgeons office and OHHHH YEESSS it was the call I have been waiting for. The staff member who handles the insurance called to tell me that everything went threw and my insurance is covering my surgery. All of a sudden I felt a huge weight lifted off my back (I mean its not gonna be the weight I will feel lifted off over the next few months) lol... But for real I am sooo happy I have been so stressed about this. Cause alot of people dont understand that once your given a date that doesent mean your approved for surgery. I mean you could be given a date in nov. for fed. and then you could get a call in Jan saying Ms. Bodden Im sorry but your insurance company did not approve your surgery, then your heart broken and discouraged and at times have to start all again... So I just thank God that this didnt happen to me. Because i know this was all God working on me and getting me ready to follow his calling for me.... AMEN!!!

Feel like im gaining

Jan 02, 2012

So my surgery is like 24 days away.. Im sooo excited but im worrying because I have lost a good amount of weight over the past 4 months or so... Like 19 lbs but over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New years I feel like I have been eating alot... So Im scared to step on the scale... First of all I dont have a scale of my own cuz I cant afford one that can weigh me but my dad has one that his WLS doctor back in tampa ordered for him so his insurance paid for it.. So I use that when I go to my parents house. I dont know how he did that I think im gonna ask my doctor if he can do that for me... lol Cuz I am broke as a joke lol... So Im scared that if I gained weight that at my last pre op appt on the 18th that my doctor will wanna push back my surgery... Well pray for me that I can slow my eating back down...
