Hello to all!! SkinnyRich New Here!!

[SkinnyRich]

I am having a very hard time with my Gastric Sleeve Surgery!! I have lost 180 LBS since August 7, 2013. I had to have the surgery in order to have BOTH OF MY KNEES REPLACED!!! I had left knee replaced on Jan.2, 2014, Right Knee Replaced April 17, 2014. For 12 years MY DOCTORS IN YAKIMA WOULD OR COULD NOT READ AN X+RAY. THEY TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CARTLIDGE IN MY KNEES!!! I GOT TO A POINT I WAS IN A WHEEL CHAIR!! I COULD NOT WALK TO THE BATHROOM!! I WAS SENT TO SPECIALIST Rheumatologist EVEN HE COULD NOT READ AN X-RAY! HE TOLD ME BECAUSE I HAVE PSORIASIS I NEEDED REMICADE INFUSIONS TWICE A MONTH AT $500.00 EACH IN HIS OFFICE THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY MY MEDICARE!!! PLUS IT WAS A 180 MILE ROUND TRIP!!! HE TOLD ME THE CARTLIDGE IN MY KNEES WAS FINE!!! I WENT BACK TO MY GP DOCTOR AND HE TOLD ME I WAS BEING UNREASONABLE. I TOLD HIM I WAS IN SUCH PAIN, THAT I WAS NOT LEAVING HIS OFFICE UNTIL HE TOLD ME WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY KNEES!!! I SAT THERE ALL DAY FROM 8 AM TO 5:30 PM. HE CALLED THE POLICE ON ME!!! I GOT ESCORTED OUT AND TOLD NEVER TO COMEBACK TO HIS OFFICE!!! HE HAD BEEN MY GP DOCTOR FOR ALMOST 17 YEARS!!! I GOT A NEW DOCTOR AND HE TOLD ME AFTER HAVING NEW X-RAYS TAKEN THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY KNEES!!! HE WOULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME ANY PAIN MEDS!!!! I WAS TAKING A 200 COUNT BOTTLE OF IBUPROFEN EVERY DAY FOR THE PAIN!!! WHICH HE KNEW ABOUT!!! I COULD HAVE DESTROYED MY LIVER AND KIDNEYS!!! THAT WAS IN AUGUST OF 2012!!! I DECIDED TO MOVE TO SPOKANE. (LONG STORY WHY) BUT I GOT A NEW DOCTOR HERE IN JANUARY OF 2013. HE HAD ME TAKE NEW X-RAYS ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON,ON MONDAY MORNING THE GP DOC HIMSELF CALLED ME AND SAID TO GET TO OFFICE ASAP!!! HE SAID THE X-RAYS ON BOTH KNEES SHOWED THAT I HAD BEEN BONE ON BONE FOR YEARS!!! NO CARTLIDGE LEFT IN EITHER KNEE!! HE GOT ME INTO SEE A KNEE SURGEON THE VERY NEXT DAY!! THE KNEE SURGEON SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN KNEES AS BAD AS MINE WERE!!! AND THEY BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED. HE TOLD ME I HAD TO LOSE"SOME" WEIGHT BECAUSE BY NOW I WAS 350 LBS. I WENT ON A DIET AND LOST 15 LBS IN 2 MONTHS,I WENT BACK TO THE KNEE DOCTOR AND HE LAUGHED AT ME!!!! HE TOLD ME TO CHECK INTO BARIATRIC SURGERY. THATS HOW I ENDED UP HERE.

DO YOU THINK I CAN FIND A LAWYER TO SUE THOSE DOCTORS IN YAKIMA??? NO LAWYER WILL TAKE MY CASE!!! THEY STOLE 12 YEARS OF MY LIFE BY NOT LOOKING AT MY X=RAYS!!!! THE PAIN AND LOSS OF MY ACTIVE LIFESTYLE SHOULD BE WORTH SOMETHING!!!
