Crazy Dog Mom!
I went to my PCP to run my labs for my 2 year anniversary of my DS. I'm currently fighting with him for iron infusions, he think my blood work is fine... (thank goodness my surgeons office will order one I go in next month.)
The nutritionist from my PCP office calls me to go over vitamins and what I should be taking.
At first I was nice and asked her if she knew anything about my WLS and understood what vitamins I needed. She goes over that my iron is just a little low and that I need to take an iron supplement.
Trying to explain that I've tried three different irons that have been recommended and I got sick with all three, with one I couldn't go #2 for almost a week. She then goes over that I drank more water that wouldn't have happened. WTH It took everything I had not to yell in the phone! I drink 96 fricken ounces of water daily plus another 20 ounces of liquid from my protein drinks. Did you even look at my food logs?? She back peddled a little then wanted to talk about why I was doing low carb, at that point I was done. I informed her that she didn't know enough about WLS to counsel me on vitamins or food and to please not call me again. She got pissed and said that they wouldn't be ordering any iron infusions for me. No problem I'll see my surgeon next month and he will... I need to talk to my PCP again about not having her call me.
Sorry to vent but no one else would really understand...
