Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Debby, you got it, that dr. is for sure a liver CREEP!! Get a new one. How sad and disgusting of a dr. to talk like that. I had an intern while I was in having my tx. he was soooooo rude, I finally told my head liver surgeon and the CREEP came in the next day and apologized. .

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Joan, indeed he DID say that all my autoimmune diseases will go away once the weight is gone. My appointment was all of 10 minutes long, and the first 5 were the ,’you are way too fat and once your fat is all gone, you will be cured!’ I had bet my husband that this would be the routine, because of course we all know that no skinny person ever has an autoimmune disease! I won the bet…of course, we both knew that this would be the scenario. I was just too crushed to “discover” that I am fat! get it! Go figure…you would think that by me looking into the mirror, that I would have noticed it…I just don’t get it! His next comment was that prednisone does NOT cause weight gain…just that you get really hungry but he did concede that prednisone DOES change the metabolism. So many conflicting sentences here. Then, he questioned HOW I knew I had celiac disease. He turned his head sideways, like people do when they are patronizing you. Well, he basically laughed when he looked at me – just knew I couldn’t have celiac…but then conceded when I told him that I indeed had 3 endoscopies with biopsies. Well, he continued to tell me that I did not have a malabsorption problem with the Vit K. My own GI told me that I did because taking the Vit K shots AND the two units of FFP (blood), brought my INR and Pro Time down. Instead, this Liver creep told me that he wanted me to take Vit D and K orally because I did not have a malabsorption problem…AND that he wanted me to go to a hematologist because he – get this – he thought I had yet another blood autoimmune disease. So…he is going to send reports to both my GI and my GP to send me to other places…I am not going to take their stupid medicine or go to another doctor. It just isn’t’ going to happen! So, I can’t wait to lose all of this weight because then I will be all cured! If you believe this…then we are all idiots! For now, I am not going to eat for a long time. I will drink water, etc or soda, but no food. Debby [ ] RE: debbie .....weight loss Hi there, Did I read correctly.....your LIVER doc. said that if you lose 100lbs. your Autoimmune diseases will just go away???? I guess I should be happy about this info. cause I don't have 100lbs to lose so do you know what this means.........................I'm cured!!!!!!!! Praise Jesus....I never realized it was so easy to get well. What did you say to him when he said that?? I know that many health problems can be helped by weight loss..ie: diabities...and others but never in my wildest imagination did I ever think anyone would say AIH could just go away. If this is true I vow to log on everyday and talk you through a work out or chop the good healthy veggies for you myself. I'm dying to know what you said to him. I have a question......with fatty liver....does losing weight help with this? Well my friend..I hope today is a good one and please know I will be praying for you to have the strength to lose weight.......Count me in as another cheerleader. Rah Rah!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Joan, on another note, I am THRILLED that you are cured! This doctor is truly a mucky muck who is full of himself. His idea of caloric intake would be perhaps 500 calories a day. So, that would limit me to perhaps one glass of mile a day. Even lettuce, fruit, all of that has more than that in one serving. But, of course, all of you who are either under weight or at proper weight, are not sick at all…it is just your imagination!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 This guy seems an absolute idiot. It's dangerous him saying this stuff. You shouldn't just leave him but, for the sake of his future patients, you should also report him to someone higher up - by the sounds of him there will probably have been complaints before and this may be enough to stop him. --- tdcc <tdcc2000@...> wrote: > Joan, indeed he DID say that all my autoimmune > diseases will go away > once the weight is gone.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Debbie maybe we should get your doc and mine together they seem to be of the same mind set (no brains). My doc says that the only reason my liver enzymes are going up is because I am to fat and he said that if I loose the weight then the fatty liver would also go away. I have lost 30 lbs and am walking and only eating 1 meal a day. The nest step is getting my jaw wired shut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 LOL…you are just way too cool…actually, I wouldn’t waste my time trying to get these two doctors together…they graduated from the school of bullies.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Maybe if we put them both in a paper bag neither one would have the brains to find their way out. I think we need to send out info kits on our disease telling side effects of the disease and meds also that hey I know I am fat now tell me something to help me or get out of my face all three chins of it!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Personally, a paper bag would be too gentle…a giant cactus would be just the right thing…press them up against the thing and then have them turn in circles until they are fully covered in nettles…naked!

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Laughter DOES make all of the difference. Without someone else having put some humor into this entire situation, I think I would have fallen off the face of the earth…life is just too short, I am deciding, to waste my time on earth thinking of this creep!
