So did I grab your attention with the title? Hopefully I did…

To me Bariatric Doctors remind me of the use car salesman that won’t let you off the lot until you take a test drive with the perfect shiny car…Now after that ride, your hooked aren’t you? Why would you not be, he made the car desirable and that is all we really want to be in the end…But after the car is purchased and it starts having mechanical problems where is that car salesman at? You keep taking it in and they keep blowing you off…Why, because they don’t know what to do about problems, they are just there to make a sale…Maybe, the mechanic might know what to do, let’s ask him…That is where our Primary Care Physicians start taking over…They haven’t seen anything like us before so what are they going to do? It’s not like I can just turn over the keys and demand my money back for being sold a lemon…

Soon the website might start looking a little different…I’m tired of the old and need to do something different…It’s not going to be changed dramatically all at once, but hopefully over the next couple of months you will start seeing the change and love it…I’m the type that when I’m used to something I don’t like when they go and mess with it…But I won’t do that to my dear readers, because it’s just not fair…And if you think of something that you might want to add then please don’t hesitate to ask me…And I’m still keeping the KISS factor with the new website which is Keep it simple stupid…:)

Oh on a side note, I’m getting ready to do my IV nutrients this coming Monday and Tuesday so I won’t be around much…But I will have a video of my first day…Start looking for it…

Have a wonderful weekend!

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…

Elated…

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!
