I am not giving up just yet.

Aug 05, 2009

August 5, 2009 I was at the Sacred Heart Doctor's Building with my sister and decided to go into the Bariatric's center and see if I could get information. A very nice lady named Theresa talked to me, she said I could fax over my old surgery info and get a new referal, so I have made an appointment at my PCM and will see if I can get something done this time around. I have not lost any weight and I try very hard,and I am still getting sick.

App. with Dr. Rawlins

Jun 17, 2008

June 17, 2008 Well he thinks maybe I should stay with my surgery, but I will get an upper GI done to see what my pouch size might be and I have already been eating properly since the bezoar was pulled out, so that is okay too, just don't think I will get the surgery if he doesn't see anything wrong inside.
July 8, 2008 He says I might have a stricture and it will come and go and has been doing this all along and to see about getting a dialation done. He will not be doing a revision for me.
August 6, 2009 Dr. Rawlins was a total dissapointment for me, I really think I should get this revision, now that it has been a year since I saw him last, I will see if I can talk to one of the other surgeons in that office. I didn't think there was any hope for me, until I talked to Theresa @ the WLS center.

TSH

May 25, 2008

May 25, 2008 Got labwork done last week at my rheumatologists clinic and she did my TSH and the result is .19 the range is .35 to 5.6. I guess this indicates an overactive thyroid when I have always had a underactive thyroid. My PCM is changing my dose to 125 mcg and before that I is was taking 137 mcg and 150 mcg before that.
I am not having shakes or feel hyper, I am in fact feeling very rundown, tired, cold and constipated.
 I am taking in more protein and walking to see if I can get some weight off and improve my health. 
May 13th I had more bloodwork done, found out my TSH is still low on the 16th, waiting for a new prescription.


WLS Informational

May 13, 2008

May 13, 2008 Went into Spokane to the meeting, met Carol and Dr Rawlins. Very good info. Can't wait for my consult. Wish I had the RNY to begin with, hoping he can help me.
May 21, 2008 Got a call from Carol today, I have an appointment on June 16th at 1:30. Update I guess the app. is going to be at 9:15 am. Also got the packet to fill out.


EGD Followup

Apr 08, 2008

April 8, 2008 Went to see Dr. Craig and all is well, saw the pictures and he printed out 2 for me, it all looks normal and he thinks I probably shouldn't try to get WLS, I do have to get bloodwork for my liver though and then followup after that.
May 19, 2008 Bloodwork came out normal. Will followup in about 4 months, he would like to see me lose weight. Easier to say than do. I am trying.


Dentist

Apr 08, 2008

After having the VBG I have had alot of vomiting and my teeth have become very weak with cavities and breaking. I have had 2 pulled already.
April 3rd
Went to the dentist today and I have to get some teeth pulled and some filled, but I will be able to get partial dentures and I am happy about that. It will be nice to be able to chew food without aches and pain and to be able to smile with good teeth not yucky teeth.

April 7th I had a tooth break over the weekend and had it pulled today and it was very painful.
April 9th I had my teeth cleaned today and he was very careful since I just had that tooth pulled.
April 12th Had 2 teeth filled.
