I had a little conversation with a Bariatric Doctor in California yesterday and now mind you that he hasn’t seen me in person yet, but he made an observation that just might be true…Drum roll please…

He said my Doctor probably didn’t attach my stomach to the most adsorbent part of the intestines….And that would explain why I don’t absorb correctly…Do I finally have an answer “Why” some of us might not absorb no matter how many vitamins we take either in a liquid or pill form…Now granted he hasn’t seen my chart yet, which he will be, but I can just feel this enormous amount of weight being lifted off my shoulders…Because this is what we have been trying to say for so long…Everyone is different and please believe me when I say I have never absorbed correctly and no amount of liquids vitamins help…Now I might finally have some justice and not only for me but others like me…No more blame games from others, cause now we could have proof…

I know I haven’t been around much, which is because I’m still dealing with my issues of being tired and not wanting to do a damn thing…Which happens when I get low on my vitamins and next week is my fill up…

Today I went with a friend to see my PCP because she wasn’t getting the answers that she needed from her Bariatric physicians or other “so called” Doctors…And I believe she got some help, now she might feel differently but I truly believe my Doctor looked at her and could understand…I don’t want to say the person’s name because she is a well known blogger and I believe it’s up to her to discuss her situation medically…My only wish is that she gets the help that all Bariatric patients deserve and should get, we deal with alot and we need someone to have our backs…I hope she knows that I have her’s…

I mean he has dealt with me for the last 5 yrs and it was finally vindicated what I have been saying and she heard it, that I don’t absorb anything…Then that brings up a question that we should all think about “How much do we really absorb”?

So that has been my day…Miss everyone and soon will be back on schedule…

Sorry for the lack of post lately…I just have been really tired and typing at the moment takes it out of me…I know it might seem hard to believe but when my vitamins are lacking I can barely get out of bed…But somehow I trek on and do it…

So I appreciate your patience and support that people have been giving me…Your encouraging words makes me feel so much love and that the world is not as cold as we believe sometimes it can be…

Countdown is on for March 15th & 16th…Can’t wait..My husband will be videotaping the first day and all it takes to get ready…

Have a great day!

Can things happen to one person in such a short amount of time and it’s only Tuesday…Can’t wait to see what the rest of the week is going to turn up…(enter sarcasm)…

First thing that is going on with me is that, I might have a belly button hernia…Ok seriously who gets these things, oh yes that would be me the little freak over here…I have all of the symptoms of one and I have a bulge around the upper side of it, which is extremely painful…Yes, I have been dealing with this for a long period of time and just ignoring it…Maybe that was the wrong thing to do, but I’m tired of thinking of myself all the time…So I have to go in next week to have a CT scan done and if I have one it will require an operation to fix it…But on the flip side of all of this, I guess is that they can fix it when I have a tummy tuck, and I would get my tummy done alot faster then I originally planned for…

Secondly, I have blisters and a sore throat, which they believe is due to me not having my vitamins…But I still have to go in and make sure that is what they think it is…Can’t they just say that is what it is and not make me get out in this horrible weather…Oh well, suck it up as my mother would say…:)

You know if I could just have one good day of not thinking about me and just live a normal life that would be so wonderful…My husband and I were just talking about this last night and I bet it’s been a good 4 yrs since I have felt like my old self…

Hope everyone is having a great day…

You know it takes alot to be friends with someone who is sick all the time and is not always able to make parties or has to bail at the last minute…But you know what I have come to learn, that if they don’t take the time to understand then they weren’t truly your friends to begin with …I’m beginning to learn that in the last few years…My best friend lives all the way in Nevada, but even if we don’t see each other, I know in my heart she is there for me at any moment…She never hesitates to listen even if I seem melodramatic at the time…Dianne will never know how much she means to me and always will, she is like my sister…And now I have found two new friends who have had Weight loss surgery and I’m hoping to build a lifelong friendship with as well…Melinda(Recovering Fatty) and Tammy (T2nashville) I can’t express how much love and support they have given me, I had to bail on a party that was happening tonight…Instead of them complaining about me not going, they were genuinely concerned how I felt and that is a great feeling knowing someone has your back…And not counting all the wonderful support groups I have on my site and Twitter…For that I thank you all and appreciate you more then you will ever know…

Love always,
