For the most part we had a smooth trip to Cleveland. Planes were on time and thunder storms moved magically out of our way. We stayed at the Guesthouse and took shuttles. What a nice conveinance(sp)
Most of the people at the clinic were very nice and professional. Unfortunately because I am so over weight my encounter with the Dr. was rough. He was disgusted with me from the moment he put his eyes on me. Mostly focused on the weight and I DO GET WHY but he was rude to both my husband and myself. I have been making steady progress with my weights loss and went to see him to make sure my meds and my obstruction were being treated correctly. He was short with us and abrupt and of course he's a very busy man but it is still no excuse for rudeness.
I share the truth so that anyone reading the board who might have a weight issue can know to avoid him. As I was told by the many people I met in that department it's not his bedside manor but his skills as a surgeon that you can count on when your in need of him.
All in all even with the negatives I'm feeling more confident and sure I'm on the right path. And for that I'm grateful. I'll lose the weight and when and if I get to the point I need surgery our new west coast Dr. will hopefully be in place.
Well that's my two cents. Time to go to bed.
