We Are Women, Hear Us Roar

I love it! I recently learned that one of Aspires nurses is also undergoing the process to prep for bariatric surgery with Dr. C. She is a few steps behind me and just met Dr. L. for her psychological.

She readily opened up to me when I approached her and I feel both vindicated and enraged all over again at her stories of having felt chilled and belittled by him and ways in which she too believed he should not be who is recommended for vulnerable fat people with esteem issues! We both agree we’d like to formally inform the Center of our feelings after we are less beholden…something I know I definitely look forward to.

Oh, and how neat that I now have an ally in this process!
