Ok, went to my PCP to get some initial blood work done - this is the only thing done through your family dr - my bariatric doc want the PCP to know what is going on etc.
So, the first person I see is the Nurse woman who weighs me, she asks me what brings me in - I tell her that I need labwork done for my impending RYN GB surgery.
She immediately gives me this pitiful look and asks me "are you suuuurrre that is what you want to do?" OK lady that I have just met and who has NEVER seen me or looked at my chart - why don't you pass judgment on me . . . you have not been 100+ pounds overweight for 12 years . . . . ARRGHHHH!
You know, she had a slight weight problem, she probably could have lost 30-40 pounds - but DON"T TAKE IT OUT ON ME!
My Dr on the otherhand, was super. I have to return tomorrow morning to let them have a morning draw . . . I'm avoiding Nurse Ratchet.
