Comments on: THE Million $ Question http://www.recoveringfatty.com/2010/02/the-million-question/ My Life After Weight Loss Surgery Tue, 31 Aug 2010 06:05:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Melinda http://www.recoveringfatty.com/2010/02/the-million-question/comment-page-1/#comment-306 Melinda Thu, 25 Feb 2010 19:47:10 +0000 http://www.recoveringfatty.com/?p=3712#comment-306 I actually wrote this over a week ago... and kept it in draft form. I forgot all about it until today when I happened upon it. I decided to go ahead and post it, esp in light of having just seen Dr. Bariatric and feeling better about things. BUT you bet your bottom that I am going to a new PCP who will run the labs that were suggested. I actually wrote this over a week ago… and kept it in draft form.

Whatever the case, I'm a nervous bundle of energy -- I need answers...labs...adjustments...assurances. Wow. This is not the stuff they talk about in the shiny WLS Sales Brochures. Of course, why would they? It is, after all, a money-making industry. Why would you focus on the negative, even if it is reality? We've got much work to do to educate the masses! I'm ready, if you are. Since the M&G and Dr. Bariatric’s talk, I’ve felt like I’m sitting on a ticking time bomb…or maybe just waiting for the gun to go off at the starting blocks.

You know that I'm one of the shiny new weight loss folks you wrote about. I've been in conversations with Mrs. H and I want to hear all about everything. So I do not view you or H. as crazy, negative, or whiny. Bring it on! Awareness is key. We did this surgery to have a long, happy, high quality life. Thank you for reminding me to be consistent and proactive for the duration. Melinda thank you for highlighting Heather’s story and for mentioning what’s going on with you as well.
