Side Effects & My Doctor

Mar 23, 2014

So, my hair is in my local sewer system and the pipe drain in my shower…Oh yeah, and in my bathroom sink pipes! I have since decided to cut this hair off because I'm sick of seeing it escape from my head! I'm kind of bummed because I cut it off in August with the intention of growing beautiful long hair, but I guess I will just have to start all over again (shrug). Going to buy some Biotin soon!

On another note, I have been getting a lot of comments on my skin complexion. Many people have noticed how I am a lot lighter than I was. Come to find out, my iron is super low, so I'm pale lol I laugh because being African-American, I never thought of that as a possibility. Adding Iron pills to my list!

And last but not least, my doctor hurt my feelings, as usual. I'm doing everything I can. Taking my vitamins, exercising, eating my 3 meals….But I am losing weight very slow! He accused me of eating a lot. I wanted to cry because I hardly eat anything, but he doesn't believe me. It makes me more upset because he didn't want to do this surgery on me to begin with (took him 2 years to say yes) and on the day I went to get weighed, the scale read 269 lbs. He said I should be 243 lbs.

And guess what? I weighed myself 2 days later and the scale said 258 lbs! Thanks a lot body for not weighing less on the day I go to see Dr.Meany!

I'm getting to where I don't even want to go see him anymore, but go figure he would be the only doctor in that whole hospital that does this surgery smh

But anyway, I am 4 months out. I use to weigh 327 lbs. I am now 257 lbs. So, if he doesn't see that as progress, I'm going to have to let that be his problem because I am so proud to be getting my life back. I thank him for his part in my journey, but this is not the time to be called a liar. 

Oh wait! I forgot something else…The nurse called to say my thyroid levels were off and that could be causing my slow weight loss. He said, "No. It's you!" 

Okay, Dr. Chlysta smh
