hannie’s spot. all hannie.

so recently July 12, 2010

My doctors have changed hands again. I’ve learned that some surgical decisions I made a while ago weren’t exactly the best choices. No kidding, you don’t say? I had to laugh hysterically when the doctor told me that. It was insanely funny to me because here I was being told what I’ve already known but on a different level. I dislike explaining gastric bypass to any regular physician. Either that have no clue, no clue, or no clue. It’s rare to find a regular primary care doctor that might have an inkling as to how gastric bypass works post operatively. When you do find one, hold onto them for dear life.

So yea, I’m following through on what my last surgeon told me to do, which was visit a pain clinic and see how I can better my world. I want to be more productive and I want to go and do and see more things. Right now, I still have a neuropathy issue in my left leg/foot and where the tack is coming off hurts all the time. I just don’t talk or speak to it because if I do, I think that it perhaps leaves me feeling bitter, negative and hateful. That in turn just intensifies the pain.

I’m in anticipation of a great come back here. I’ve sorta taken up this new hobby of encouraging those who are wls who feel they can’t lose the weight. Hi, did it twice. Lost that weight twice I tell you. Surgeons gasp in disbelief over that. They also gasp because I can still dump like no one’s business and I have reactive hypoglycemia. Okay, your mileage may vary on all of that. I’m just a complicated girl. But I beat the odds against some of the best bariatric surgeons out there. Don’t ever give up on you. Ever.
