just wondering??

frist how are all u ladies feeling?  Well i am feeling pretty good but  getting alittle nervous i  am beginning to  think my dr isnt listening to me. let me  give u a quick  background on this
    Well in  july   of 2010 i had gastris bypass surgery and ihave  had much  success with it. I have lost 150 lbs since july  talk about losing a whole person. Now people after having  this surgery shouldnt try to get pregnant until atleast a  year or so after. Well me and the hubby werent trying at all  even using  two different  forms of birth control  and bingo we are pregant again  and due in  aug  . We are truely surprised and shocked when we found out but know i am  worried  i have continued to loose weight at fast  rates and  i am beginning to think this may be  harmful to the baby. I have  asked my surgeon  who preformed my  gastris bypass and she  said they  should montior  me closer due to  things like  vit deficinies ( sorry about  spelling )  and the fetal growth and  such. When i talk to my obgyn  thye just say everything is  ok and that i am  fine  well  i think they  should atleast listen to me . RIGHT i am the  patient, I am going to them on 2/23 and i  would like some one  to  atleast address my concerns. Maybe  if they  would do and extra u/s to check  or maybe run my  vitamin levels to make sure that i am  taking what i need to be  taking.  I dont know i am  just  very angry at them at the moment i  dont like  getting the brush off by them and them telling me that i am overreacting (  which i  rather be  doing that than not  in case there is an issue)  I jsut dont know what to say to get them to  listen to me. Any  ideas

ya thanks that is  how  i  feel but the killer part is all the would have to  do is give me lab  slip  they wouldnt even  have to seen me  i work in a lab as a med lab tech  so  i would just need the script of what they  want ordered i could  have the  bloodwork done  get to look at  and then  fax it over to them  so see little to no  work on their part  just writting out the paper lol  but  i am going to  the obgyn  on  23rd so  ia m going to  really discuss this  with them again  and hopefully they will listen to me this time if not then i  have already been  calling other dr to  see if they are  willing to take me on as a patient .  Its a little hard changing  dr though  seein as this practice delivered my other three kids but the midwife that  delivered my  other kids is no longer there so i  am  dealing with new people also  just enough to make a person go crazy  like i  dont have enough  trouble with the raging  hormones and constantly chasing my five yr and two yr around and working a  full time job ...... well sorry last part was a littlee rant on  my part i guess we have them  from time  to time.

I would change doctors if your doctor is not going to listen to your concerns.  I would think that even though they may think that you are fine that if you want them to check your vitamin levels and such then they should do it to make you feel better.
