Oh Kelly, I totally sympathize. My GI doc blew me off like that after waiting months and months for my appointment, and I cried too. I'm convinced that most GI docs are absolutely worthless. They may have tons of book smarts about GI problems, but if they haven't had any problems themselves they just can't understand the pain and suffering we all go through. If I were you I'd look into another doc, as aggravating as it is. That's what I'm planning on doing.
I didn't realize it was your birthday! What a horrible way to spend it. I hope you got to do SOMETHING fun on your birthday. Excuse me for being blunt, but screw your GI doc... enjoy the rest of your birthday! I hope you have a great evening, and don't stress about it! You'll get things figured out!
