I contacted his office this morning and the lady that answered the phone was a complete ass to me. I’m about over people and their nasty attitudes. She kept cutting me off when I was trying to talk to her. :angryfire::angryfire: Sorry I had to rant. I’ll keep searching....

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.

Hi, Does anyone know of any physicians that may possibly understand the needs of DS patients close to Atlanta Georgia? I don’t mind traveling further away. I moved here a few months ago. I’ve been putting it off because it took forever getting my old physician on board with my medical needs...

Hi, I only took them for 3 months. I’ve never had any issues like acid reflux or indigestion issues. I do still keep an active prescription for “just in case” I should need them but so far I’ve not needed them. Also, I wasn’t aware that I probably should have weaned myself off of them. I just...

Lmao because I feel the same way

I've always heard that Facebook and Google were awesome companies to work for because they encourage, and value time spent away from work with your families. They also have a lot of perks and incentives. Another bonus for me is their location. I'm in Tennessee and I've always wanted to live on...

I have several. I've never really had a defined waist, and when I lost 50 pounds, I noticed that I had a little defined waist that dips inwards. I also couldn't wait to feel bones in my body. They've always been padded by fat Lol. I guess I should have been careful about what I asked for because...

Hello:) I just wanted to give an update for those who were interested. I had a biopsy done and the results are benign. I put the procedure off three times due to going on vacation, work responsibilities, and mainly because I was scared. I'm so thankful that it wasn't cancer. My doctors office...

I'm hungry about every 2-3 hours. It's the most aggravating thing about my surgery. I had a lapband before the DS and I wasn't always hungry. I try to eat more protein or vegetables and that's helping to curb my hunger. I don't snack on sugary foods. Since I've had the DS, everything is either...

Me too:) I'm going to pray about it and hope for the best.

Thank you and you look great!! I'll definitely let you all know how it goes.

Thank you and so am I.

I have the same issue. It doesn't matter if I'm eating or not my nose will randomly start running. Eating will then make it worse. I was diagnosed with allergies about 10 years ago but the weird thing is that my nose didn't start running like a water faucet until I got the DS. I take two Zyrtecs...

Hey Y'all, It's been a while since I've been on here. I posted some months ago concerning my voice changing and not being able to sing in my upper register like I did before surgery. My voice hasn't gotten any better. It's actually gotten a little worse. I finally went to my doctor and I'll...

I thought that taking calcium tablets increases the chances of getting kidney stones. Thats one of the reasons I won't take them. Maybe I've been misinformed. Also, what is CMP and PTH?

Oh wow that sucks!! I hate they did that to you. Totally not cool. We're just a number to our employer and nothing more...

Thanks for the heads up. I probably should get my iron and calcium checked. I'm not taking either of them. I take everything else though.

I don't know about the insurance but I used FMLA. I hold a status of salaried exempt so I didn't have to use PTO for the first 30 days and I still got paid which was pretty cool. I didn't realize it until I returned back to work. I took a total of 5 weeks off so I used one week of PTO. Had I...

I agree. I'm sure that I will probably have to do the same. My new physician was clueless about the procedure that I had. He did ask questions and made copies of my documentation from my surgeon. Since he is new to me, he was really hard to read. My old physician was awesome and wasn't put off...
