I hate making decisions.
I'm still irritated from my doctor's appointment this past Friday. I know the problem I'm having with losing weight is that I'm still on the insulin. When I was first diagnosed with the Diabetes back in 2002, I went on Glucophage, and ate right and exercised, and had lost 80 lbs by the time I found out I was pregnant. I'm not sure why my previous doctor left me on the insulin after the boy was born in the first place. I wanted to ask the current doctor this last time about coming off of it altogether, but was too distracted by him asking so early in the appointment if I'd ever considered the gastric bypass surgery, which I have (considered, that is), and had decided that I didn't want to do, that I forgot to ask the questions that I wanted to ask.
Me being who I am, my first thought after the doctor's appointment was to take things into my own hands, which resulted in the decision to 'experiment' by not taking the insulin injections for a month, just to see what happens. My second thought was to cut and run, so I started looking for a new doctor this weekend. I've found one in my town, who's specialties are listed as Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. I'm giving serious thought to giving his office a call Tuesday, to see if he handles patients for general Diabetes care (probably a stupid question...), blah, blah, blah. I can't decide if I want to make an appointment now, or wait until August, when my next 'regular' appointment would be.
And I started looking at information online (lapband.com) this afternoon on the Lap-Band surgery...
... it just looks so easy................
