Anyone Losing Weight?

I can't believe that they haven't called you back yet!!! Is their office in town? If so, then I'd go down there and speak to the receptionist. However calling your regular doctor and complaining might do some good too. They should be able to get through and straighten things out for you. Let them know that you're in a lot of pain. Makes me MAD!!!!!!

It makes me mad too. The office is in Lafayette. I called my Drs. office and explained what is going on and they said they will try to get a hold of them today. I do okay most of the time as long as I keep taking the ibuprophen. There are times it hurts really bad and other time...I can handle it. Good thing I have a high pain tolerance.

The problem is Janet, that taking so much ibuprofen can aggravate your GERD. The faster you can get off ibuprofen, the better all around. It is inexcusable that you have had to wait for over a week for the results of a test that could show why you are in acute pain. It just is not right!

It scares me some wondering if they might have found something else. Not sure what else to do. Guess I'll call again Monday. Well if the ibuprofen is bad then I'll try to do without. If it gets too bad, I do have some Loritabs left. I will never go to this Dr again.

When I had tests run the other day I was called in a day or two with the results. I figured that I would have to go in and talk to the doctor to get the results but it was nice because I didn't have to worry for very long about what was found. Can your doctor send you and your results to another doctor who can get you in sooner?

I am beginning to have trouble with binge eating in the evenings. If I don't carefully control my eating, I can get completely out of control. It seems sometimes that if I take one bite of something, then I can't quit. It's very frustrating.

Keep trying to find substitutes, Gayle. You will work yourself through it! Maybe you need more veggies, proteins or carbs at dinner?

How about frozen grapes? They are low points, and fun to eat. I used to put low fat chocolate syrup on cantaloupe cubes, or lo fat cool whip with chocolate syrup.
