OMG the stupidity!

so i went to american laser center today for a consult about this issue with my stomach on the sides of my scars.
I thought i would get to meet with a dr or at least a nurse. Instead i met some girl who knew basically nothing.
I had filled out my paper, and you know it asks do you have or have you ever had certain problems.
So i checked the autoimmune box, and put UC. And i put that the areas i was interested in having work were my stomach and my arms.
She walks in the room and says, "i talked to the nurse and because of your ulcetlivitis (thats the best way i can spell what she said) you cant have anything done to your abdomen."
I said, but i dont have that anymore, i had also written that i had had surgery.
So she goes and calls the nurse again, and she tells the nurse and comes back and tells me that the nurse told her that it even thought the ulcetlivitis was gone, it could come back and so i couldnt have it done.
And i said, no it really cant come back. And she says, well the nurse says it can. And i said, no i dont have a colon, it cant come back! and i ask if i can just talk to the nurse.
And so she gets the phone and brings it in and is telling the nurse that i said it couldnt come back and the nurse is saying, yes it can, the woman tells her i dont have a colon, and then the nurse understands what she is saying, finally. And tells her i still cant have it because of "protocol" and i said, what does that mean?
And she says, thats the protocol that the doctor set up!
and i said, ok and i left!
I had had no intention of letting these people do it in the first place, its like a chain, but they do free consultations, and i thought i would get a price to go off of.
UGH!!!

LOL thats what i should have done, lol.
Im going to see another one thursday, but its an actual doctor, so i should get a little more intelligence on that!
Then seeing my actual surgeon on Monday

LOL i do know!

thats a different disease. UC cant come back when there is no colon.

I don't think that is the reason why they decided not to do it. They decided not to do it because she checked the box and they had no *$*$ clue regardless. My doctor also warned me of UC coming back in the rectum called cuffitis I think it is called. Glorious.

yeah it had nothing to do with Pyoderma Gangrenosum (which by the logic given, means that chicken pox and shingles are the same disease), it was just stupidity on their parts. hopefully the actual doctor tomorrow will be a little smarter!

yep allie that is exactly how they acted, lol.
The real dr had surgery run late this morning my consult was rescheduled until wednesday, which is actually good because i am seeing the surgeon who did my ileo on Monday to see what he thinks about it.

well...i went to the surgeon who did my ileo today, and he said its not a muscle problem, that he isnt sure why its doing that. He said it would be fine to see a plastic surgeon and that he figured they would probably just do a little lipo to even the sides out. And that that wouldnt hurt anything.

I asked to sign up to speak to patients who were nervous and he said of course he would be happy to do that that he was also looking for young people esp to help with that! Then he told me something kind of sweet though, he said that when younger people come to him asking questions about jpouch vs perm ileo, that he tells them about me! Not by name of course. He tells them how i came in and said, i want a bag, i dont wanna deal with anything else, just get it out, get me fixed up so i can get on with it! And he tells them that a young cute girl said that, tee hee.

summerstorm~you are going to love speaking to new patients!

summerstorm,
your comment about "going to find yourself..." is hilarious. I want to post it on face book, okay? I will keep it annonymous.
Also, my belly has such a deep indentation that it looks like my rear!

I will totally have some plastic surgery to have things fixed up.
I have a 'button hole' looking scar on the right side where my old stoma was. it looks yucky.
also, my belly button is wrecked. and the stretch marks from my baby. Which is why i'll wait until i'm done having more kids.

News flash ladies....I don't have kids and my belly is still awful! LOL.
Next year I am def. going to have some lipo done around my belly and inner thighs!
