My doctor's appointment  
My hopes are shattered again.  I found out that my thyroid is low so I have to start taking synthetic thyroid hormones.  So the doc says he wants me to see what the thyroid stuff does because it will help me loose weight and improve my diabetes numbers.  Unfortunately he's not going to give me a recommendation for WLS until "we've tried everything else first" because "gastric bypass surgery has a 5% mortality rate" and supposedly my "situation is not that desperate yet"

So I go back in 6 weeks to have another round of blood work done to see how my thyroid and diabetes is doing and get a pap test.  Some how I can see him fucking around with my meds and putting off surgery for months or years.  I'm going to be thirty in less than a week and my husband and I what to have kids.  I don't have time to fuck around with this doctor.  I don't know what I'm going to do.  Maybe I'll give this doctor a few more visits then switch doctors.  I don't know.  Any of you know of a primary care physician in State College pa that isn't anti-wls?
